Every time I drop my car off for service at any shop I put a typed, printed note in the dash that says not to wash it, or open the door with a hand that has a ring or a watch.

I've heard too many stories of places doing these things anyway even if you mentioned it to them when you dropped the car off, or it is "noted" in their system. I just keep that piece of paper in the glove box, and it goes onto the dash when my car gets dropped off so everyone working on or around the car can see it - instead of hoping that person A gets the message to person B, who also tells person C that is also working on it, etc.

Honestly I like the dealership that I bought my car from, and I think they did a good job when they prepped my car before I took it home after buying it (which I knew I shouldn't have done, but at that point I was too paranoid about not knowing how to wash my car the right way after reading through so many obsessive detailer forums, etc), but now that I know better and don't NEED someone else to wash my car for me I don't let anywhere else do it.
