Default HELP!: How do you say "DO NOT WASH MY CAR"

I'm about to drop off my (dirty) car at the dealer and want to make sure they don't wash it, clean it or detail it. How do i politely yet firmly say "Please do not wash or clean my car at all." ?

Thanks

"por favor no lave el coche"

(in case you don't speak any spanish at at all, the phonetic version is

"por fah-VOR no LAH-vay el KOE-chay"

Actually it would be said "Por Favor no me laven el carro". Please don't wash my car.

Coche really isn't used.. carro is more the word.
