We all know the horrors that await your paint job when its in for any kind of service at a dealer or shop.
You can ask the service manager to make sure the porters don't wash your car and screw up all your hard work, but sometimes that message doesn't make it all the way to the right people.

These FREE printable hangers can be placed on your rear view mirror, gear shift, or anywhere else to get the attention of any potential washer to make sure they know not to bother with whatever swirl inducing rag and sponge combo they have in mind.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Click your preferred hanger image below
Download to your computer (right click, save as)
Print the hanger on a heavy card stock
Cut out along the dotted line

OPTIONAL - print 2 copies and glue back to back for a 2 sided hanger.

Store in your glovebox
Hang the notice from your rear view or gearshift
Sleep easy knowing you your ride won't come back with swirls!

Trust me, if you hang that, it may not come back with swirl marks, but it will come back with some sort of expensive part failure within 2 weeks that will be blamed on the customer and not covered under warranty. But I can appreciate where your coming from.

WOW... don't know what kind of dealer you go to, but I've been doing this for years and never had anyone sabotage a vehicle. Might be time to find a new dealership if they're that underhanded.

Awesome!

I had the service writier specifically put a sign in that said that for my GXP...he gave me an odd look as did a few others. I could care less what they think, my car!


Another option is to print one and take it down to a Fedex Office [formerly Kinkos]...they can apply a hard laminate on it, or you can get the laminate sheets and do it yourself at any office supply.

Thanks for the signs!

Some people are just a little paranoid. :wink2:

Great signs BTW.

i don't have to worry about that. They didn't even wash my G8 before I brought it home new.
