Thats mighty risky but glad it worked out. I have BSM as well and I knew better than to let my dealer touch the car. My old Black Acura and Gray E90 were both swirled at the dealer during initial detail - from that point on, I vowed never to let the dealer detail. You might get lucky but I'm not taking a chance of minimum wage car washer using a dirty, gritty, cotton towel to wipe down my car.

Also fine swirls are hard to see unless you are in certain sunlight. I can almost guarantee if a dealer does the detail, you will see fine swirls in your paint - it takes extreme detail not to swirl. Even doing it myself, I will inevitably start to swirl my paint at some point.
