My dealer started washing customer's cars with a jet wash, although I always tell them not to. I won't let anyone else wash it, just me & my sponge

we do, this day and age i think it makes a difference for a customer to collect a nice clean car after shelling out money on it as you can't see a service but a clean car shows it's been looked at.

That was one of my biggest peeves with main dealer servicing - out of Peugeot, Ford and BMW in my area, none of them would clean the car as a matter of course. I think this is dreadful; why go to a main dealer?
Luckily, Gatwick Group (my local Subaru garage) cleaned my car when in for the 1,00 mile check and I was pleasantly suprised - top marks!

I don't really want monkeys washing my car - bet it gets the sponge smeared over the grainy dirt without a wash to get the loose stuff off first! 
I was told by SGT on the only occasion I let them have it that it had been valeted - is that just the outside then with no hoover action??
