We had to sprinkle the machine, electrical, and convenience store rooms. The actual wash bay was excluded. Owner paid for all galvanized schedule 40 pipe and stainless steel sprinkler heads. They had originally considered stainless steel piping.

Then go to 903.2.1.5 and you will see when sprinklers are required if where you are at is under the 2009 IBC.

I can't find anything in the code specifically dealing with a car wash but for some reason it just seems strange to add heads to a carwash, yes/no? Also, if they are required which my gut says they are is there a concern about corrosion & rust?
