Each to their own I suppose, but why would you want the bored minimum wage kid to drag a filthy grit caked sponge dipped in fairy liquid and muddy water over your paintwork?

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I tell to dealer not to wash the Jimny after service ,but they still do, they only use one bucket of water to do job and it's only half a job when done rather do the job myself .

I was the same back in the days when I went to main dealers, always told them not to wash it.
Had vehicles back too many times half washed with half a gallon of cheap interior shine liberally sprayed inside, smelling like a cheap night out

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Fuel Pump and Door Harnesses done, opened and closed the doors to hear if anything loose and ran my fingers around the door trim, felt a bigger gap at the bottom centre so explored and could feel a loose trim clip rolling around. Went in an said there was an issue and the young lad came out. He popped the door card (old skool terminology) and refixed the clip. The membrane is a clear plastic sheet, the lad said Suzuki don't supply a new one so they peel the old one off and stick it back on with black body sealant, this was still tacky and with his fiddling went over the visible paintwork at the bottom. This was cleaned off with brake cleaner.
Fuel tank was removed by dropping rear section of exhaust and detaching the propshaft, all done in about 4 hours.
Will have a proper look underneath today when it stops raining.

I'm having the door harnesses replaced today. Your description really irks the OCD perfectionist in me. Those membranes are almost impossible to peel off without, at the least stretching them. They don't then go back smoothly in place. Fortunately I have learned to live with imperfections that I cannot see. I will, however be checking the refitting of the door card with a Hawk's eye.
