    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:
    1. Click your preferred hanger image below
    2. Download to your computer (right click, save as)
    3. Print the hanger on a heavy card stock
    4. Cut out along the dotted line
      • OPTIONAL - print 2 copies and glue back to back for a 2 sided hanger.
    5. Store in your glovebox
    6. Hang the notice from your rear view or gearshift
    7. Sleep easy knowing you your ride won't come back with swirls!

    Thanks. Its something I've been doing for years and figured we could make an "official" looking one. Also trying to find a place locally to have a couple hundred made on a flexible plastic like a hotel door hanger.

    Thats how I used to do it too.... had this idea after an experience where the porter supposedly didn't see it on the dash. Figured these are a little more 'in your face'.

    There we go. Three semesters of college level Spanish classes didn't go too well for me. No hablo espanol was about all I got out of it.

    Maybe something like this would get the point across in all languages? Excuse my crude mock up.

    I think P1et is referring to the fact that people would simply ask "Why would we wash it anyways? Do some people actually do that?" :p

    Or that no one can read there, but I doubt it.
