How long should I have recirculation on before I turn on the A/C after I get a car wash? I had recirculation on for maybe five or so minutes.

Hi,

You can leave it on until the interior becomes comfortable. Once that is achieved, you can turn it back to fresh air.

As far as the car wash, once you are out of the car wash, you can turn it back to fresh air.

Let me know if this helps.
