I think so. Mine only feels the softness of my hand on a soft sponge and a microfibre cloth.

I don't know how good their filtration is, but I'd be concerned about getting the rinse water from other cars, along with the dirt that came off of them, sprayed all over mine. Granted they mix in soap. But still, what if there are leftover dirt particles in the water? Soap isn't going to magically cushion those particles when they hit your car.
Yes, one of the places I take my car in Venice offered me a wash that didn't use recycled water as part of an upgrade. I had never heard of that before.

But that said, I've never noticed scratches on my paint from any of these touchless places, and I've been going for years.

The only car wash near me has a "Dog Washing Station" built-in as well. Do you think I'm going to that place? :P

I also found a few scratches on my left front rim, caused by the metal pipe tire guide at the wash. I now wash by hand. Oh well, there are worse things in life.

Just something to think about, most car washes today recycle their water. Dirt in the water under pressure can sand blast your paint. If they keep the water filter clean, no problem. If the car wash is really busy, the filter is probably not getting serviced like it should.
