Fair comment, but I don't think that all touchless car washes are created equal. I have used ones that are harsh (not going back there) and ones that seem much gentler. We don't have to recycle water where I live, but that would be a deterent to me if my local wash did so.

I do want the high pressure spray on the undercarriage.

I should also qualify that cars that I had as hobby/collector vehicles didn't go through the automatic wash, but the X5 was a daily driver.
