"DO NOT WASH" printable dealership warning hangers

[Team Adam's 4,657]

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.
     

[*]Store in your glovebox

[*]Hang the notice from your rear view or gearshift

[*]Sleep easy knowing you your ride won't come back with swirls!

 

 

 

 

UPDATED: for those with rear view mirrors that block part of the sign click below for the extended versions which have an additional 3" of length before the text

pretty cool. if I brought my car anywhere that does washes ever I would have these for sure

[NathanJax 10]

sweet!

[Masaki 11]

Brilliant idea! I would even buy a laminated version of this. I have had bad experience with shops and dealerships ruining my paint because of there ignorance.

[Golf for Life 22]

Thank YOU Dylan, printed both sides and will have it laminated.

[ChargerMatt 12]

Dylan... that's one of your best ideas yet, and I say that with love.

 

Printing and laminating.

[Team Adam's 4,657]

Thanks Matt. I've been doing this for years (handwritten) myself... figured we could use an 'official' one.

 

We will also look to have heavier flexible plastic ones made, but so far its been my experience that the paper ones work fine and if they get damaged its cheap to print a new one.

[Doug123 24]

Great Idea because SOMETIMES they don't listen.

 

 

Luckily, I have a polisher, and the will to use it!

[Chris@Adams 1,793]

What no more dealer installed swirls! What will we do with our time?

 

Great idea!!

[BlueGenCoupe 17]

I can't help but laugh at what we've become. :lolsmack:

 

Great Idea Dylan:2thumbs:

I'm soooooo printing one of these on card stock tomorrow at work.

[ChargerMatt 12]

I'm soooooo printing one of these on card stock tomorrow at work.

 

Finally the 5 pages of 5x8 photo paper that came with the printer will get some use!

 

Also; just in time because I need to get them to install a fog light for me soon.

[Team Adam's 4,657]

Glad you guys appreciate them.... now... how about we make this fun -

 

First person to post a picture of their car or truck sporting one of these from the rear view gets a FREE can of the new Quick Sealant. If you can get a picture of it sitting in a dealer service lane with the hanger in place I'll make it a 3 pack!

[Moz 12]

Dylan,that is very cool to go out of your way to make these for us-THANK YOU

[DaveVY 102]

that was quick

 

I had just finished up work for the day and was checking Adam's... you should have seen me running around trying to get this done before someone else did.

 

I will post a better pic tomorrow once I use the good camera, that was taken on the cell phone.

EDIT: Someone beat me to the pics so I deleted mine, but I'll have to adjust the size, cause it looks like i want them to wash it... lol

DaveVY takes the single can of Quick Sealant!

 

Shoot me over a PM with your shipping info and we'll get that out to you tomorrow!

[DaveVY 102]

I noticed this also... the "Do Not" needs to be lower, the mirror hides that line! On my pic I had to pull it down lower so that the "Do Not" was showing.

 

Dylan, can you adjust it so that the "Do NOT" is lower and isn't hidden? We sure wouldn't want to send the wrong message to the dealer!

[Team Adam's 4,657]

Can do... probably need to see what the average hang distance is on a bunch of vehicles and pick the best spacing for whatever works for the most cars. I'd imagine its different on every car to some degree.

That's what took me so long. I was trying to adjust the tag, but couldn't so i just took the pic as is

 

[BlueGenCoupe 17]

Damn I didn't know this became a contest! Fail for me. I would have won 2!

[Fierce5 81]

Love it, that's an awesome idea.

[The Ryan 115]

GENIUS!!!

 

Dylan, you should print and laminate these and sell them, or include with purchase of xxx dollars.

We're looking at how much it would be to make them on a flexible plastic, just like a hotel 'do not disturb' sign is. Stay tuned.
