Dealer washed car
So of course the dealer didn't listen and took my car to the local hand wash. My question is I used dp paint coating in May and two weeks ago I used hydro2 over the entire car..did this trip to the car wash strip my protection or should I still be ok?

Re: Dealer washed car
The Dealer took your car to a local hand wash?
That is really strange
Your Hydro2 is still there...along with a bunch of new Swirls!

Re: Dealer washed car
Best way to see is test. It's unlikely they stripped it, I'd be more inclined to say they swirled it up. It's possible they didn't but I wouldn't expect that. Give it a rinse down and look at the hydrophobic properties.

Re: Dealer washed car
I'm not worried as much about the swirls cause after the winter I plan on a full correction I just want the protection on it for the winter

If they didn't wash it with Dawn it should be OK.

Re: Dealer washed car
I WOULD pay attention to the swirls though. At the very least, document and notify. If you asked them not to wash it, and they damaged your car (which is what they did if they swirled it, whether they or a sub-contractor; in the case of taking it elsewhere.), then at the VERY least you need to let the dealership know what a mistake they made. If it were ME, I'd be demanding they pay an outside detailer (and NOT the dealership 'porter' guy) to correct the paint. Even if I was planning on doing it myself; there's no reason I should have to correct more than the occasional defect I put in over time.

Re: Dealer washed car
I recently had some work done on my car, engine flush and tranny flush and I got to the dealer and he said "oh you early, I was gonna run your truck through the car wash" I said then you would have to pay someone to detail the truck and get all the scratches it took me hours to remove...

Lol i like that. I have had similar experience and when taking my car to the dealership. Last time I asked to write a small note on the work order. I then wrote, DO NOT WASH CAR, on the work order with a gigantic sharpie that i brought with me just for the occasion. I have a copy of it, they thought it was funny. I'll find it, and post to the thread.

Re: Dealer washed car
I think what bothers me is I knew I had to bring the car in so on sunday I made sure it was clean. When the guy checked the car in he even made a comment about how smooth the paint felt and even made a few guys go look at it. It was sunny out and didn't rain so there was not even a reason to take it for a wash
