+1. I have tagged one such facility at 
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/9915766339 as

access <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access?uselang=en> 	no 
<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:access=no?uselang=en>
amenity <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:amenity?uselang=en> 
car_wash <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity=car 
wash?uselang=en>
note <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:note?uselang=en> 	Pour 
ameliorer le poussiere
truck_wash <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:truck 
wash?uselang=en> 	yes


	

	

	

	


I think that most such facilities (both for desinfection and washing 
cars/trucks) are on non-public-roads, and thus a highway tag (in the 
British sense of highway being a public road of whatever size, even 
footpaths can be highways) would not seem like the right tag for me.
Also, I have seen desinfection baths like this for bicycles (yes, I'm 
Dutch) and pedestrians. Seldom on public roads (except in the extreme 
heights of the footh- and mouth-disease crisis) and usually onto the 
entrance/exit of farms - and for pedestrians - on public swimming pools 
(to combat foot fungi).
