The client adds WCF Servic

Answer 1

In WCF we can use another way to see actual SOAP messages - custom MessageEncoder - a low-level pipeline extensibility point. Unlike message inspectors (IDispatchMessageInspector / IClientMessageInspector) it sees original byte content including any malformed XML data. You need to wrap a standard textMessageEncoding as custom binding element and adjust config file to use that custom binding.

Also you can see as example how I did it in my project - wrapping textMessageEncoding, logging encoder, custom binding element and config.
