I think I'd wanna know what gas they were using before allowing such a thing on my bike. Of course they could fill up my car anytime they want!

Every time Worth washed my bike after service it always looked like crap. They just take a hose to it and dry it off (usually).

I wouldnt worry about a wet butt near as bad as having to spend couple hours having to rewash and detail my scooter, as most free washes are worth about what they cost. That is if they used clean soft towels to wash and dry and I didnt have to spend even more time trying to wax out the sand scratches. To each his own, but I take a lot of pride in my scooters and I dont want somebody smearing around on it with gritty towels and a bucket of nasty water. If I carried my 4-wheeler, which i never wash, and they sprayed it off after they finished I would be tickled sh*tless, but most of the time my scooter looks much better before their FREE wash than after. The dealer I use now actually does a decent job washing, but I still perfer them to leave the washing up to me. I can take a bottle of quick detailer and a soft towel and get any smudges off in a couple minutes. I bought a new Streetglide in 06, I looked it over and went to bank to get cashiers check, when I returned to pick it up they had washed it and pulled it out front. I could see the swirls from the highway before I pulled on the lot.

Me too Endofdays, first off I hate to ride a dirty scoot and plus I figure if i drop it off clean the guys at dealership will realize I take pride in my scoot and maybe they will do the same.

Your fault. you thought it was a professional business.
I tape a piece of paper on the windshield stating Do Not Wash. Ever since I saw the kid washing bike after bike with the same bucket of water.
Not good for a vivid black. don't ask me how I know.
