I read somewhere that this was really bad for your car. Water ends up like a salt water spray. Any truth to this?

 

Yeah, I know they should be recycling water given the amount they use....but I don't know how much the water is recycled? Would be nice to know how many cycles the water is used before it really becomes waster water and washes away.

 

good car wash places that recycle water also have built in water treatment on the site

so it depends on which car wash place u go to and what sort of treatment they do to the recycled water
here is a car wash place in my city up here in vancouver canada
http://www.easywash.com/section.asp?...248&pageid=435

the place is newly built so it has the newest and most environmentally sound equipment

the way they treat their water there, it seems like it is safe enuf for a car wash
i took my car there once for a free premium wash, seems alright
didnt damage my car a single bit from what i can tell
