Anyway I did get them to not buff it all all just hand wash only. I think I will have to keep on top of this and remind them regually so it doesnt get done buy default some how.
I know it might seem a little over the top but if you go and inspect new cars on the lot they all have buff scratches all over them.

Alot of cars get damaged during transit, therefore the dealers see it fit to inspect the car first. Imagine your horror if you peeled off the sticker to find a big dent on the bonnet. From that perspective I can understand them.
Being a detailer, most dealerships make my life much harder than it should be.
Some of them prepare cars perfectly, but most of them don't. Most of the time they will use a filling glaze to fill scratches/swirls and buff marks/holograms so you don't see them on pick up, but will appear after a few washes. The best thing you can do is get them to peel off the stickers, inspect the car but not to wash or polish.
