Its not always as much as the dealer not knowing how to properly care for a car, as it is the owner pushes productivity too much. You will get out of a clean-up job, what you put into it. However a good 'Autopian' job takes too much time, and the higher ups want a car washed and finished in just a few minutes with minimal costs......hence why they use brushes and the same bucket of water for multiple cars. Im a detailing nut and I work at a dealership some in the car washing and new car prep department. Some cars come with lots of plastic on the outside, whereas some only come with plastic on the inside.

For you people demanding the dealer not wash the car...unless you custom order the car and they call you the day it comes in, the car has probably been washed several times before you lay eyes on it.
When I was a regular employee washing cars, I got paid a whopping $5.25/hour and had NO formal training on how to properly wash it. I just followed what my father did, and later found out that his 'trained' methods were incorrect. Also, many of the car-wash guys are high schoolers with part time jobs, and/or people who weren't smart enough to cut high school and dropped out at age 16.
