The trouble with the touchless car washes that I have seen is that you cannot select just a water rinse. Even the cheapest wash includes a detergent blast. These detergents have to be very strong to work without scrubbibg, and they will _strip_ the wax right off your car.
If you want to flush the salt off, either try to do it at home if possible, or use a do it yourself car wash and just use water. Be sure to get the underside and wheel wells thoroughly flushed.
You can make a chassis sprayer by attaching a lawn sprinkler to a piece of plywood and pulling it slowy by the hose from one end of the car to the other.
