Yeah, I think if you're claiming this only happens at a car wash, it comes down to one of two things:

1) Your car only behaves this way when wet. If so there's no reason you shouldn't be able to spray this down with a garden hose at home and recreate it.

2) The carwash is in some area with strong electromagnetic interference and it is affecting the FOB. Wireless FOBs are a convenience factor, but also have downsides. While it takes a very deliberate act for an outside signal signal to unlock your car (i.e.: some jackass using a signal repeater to break in), it's relatively much easier for something to just non-deliberately jam the signal such that you can't unlock it.
