I did buy a spiffy fiber type that was meant to be washable. Looked like the kind of element the K&N car filters have.
As to the free car wash vacuums, I say go for it. Beats the cloud of dust from the air hose in the driveway.

Yep, the paper ones...my vac is a 6.5 hp ridgid brand from home depot, but the same technique worked with my old Sears vac...which kinda died after I backed my old pickup over it...forgetting I'd left it there.
They are wet/dry vacs, designed to suck moisture, so the paper ones wash out well. They can take days to fully dry though. During cold weather, once the filter is done dripping, I just put it over a house heater floor vent....they dry pretty quickly then.
