I let them vaccum the inside... but when you spend time making your paint look like this you don't want a dealer running it through a carwash

Local private-ish school, Bellarmine. you all probably wont ever hear of it, no football team. but they do have a kick ass bio/foreign language dept and lacrosse, soccer, and baseball teams.

Not to mention I don't need someone running my car through some place that's gushing water everywhere while my engine is running and taking a chance of water getting sucked in too much.

well, in my defense, i had no idea that they did all that stuff. lets just hope they didnt use anything that is going to mess up the clearcoat the body shop put on my painted parts.

I wouldn't worry about it. Some dealers hand wash, some don't. Regardless it's probably a safer carwash than an auto one you'd find at a gas station. Just some of us are fanatics and never take our cars through auto car washes.
