Do you know why this is happening? If not, you need to remove the remote from close proximity to the cars. The remote and the handles are communicating with each other...and when the water hits the CA door handles...it is being presumed/interpreted as a “touch”.

If you’re at home...you can just move the remote further into the house or garage...but if you’re at a commercial Carwash...that may not be possible...so perhaps some type of Faraday bag or box would prevent the remote and CA door handles from communicating with each other.

You can probably find an inexpensive but workable Faraday bag on amazon.com or eBay...or do a google search.
