There are a number of things that can be affected by the water. Did you wash the engine? You mentioned that the battery died or was drained. Can you pinpoint the problem to the alternator? Check the voltage at the battery when you get it started. 12 volts and under is not right.

a late response....but honestly, I don't think it's the battery...It sounds like a hydrolock damage, but auto car washes do not spray water under body enough for the car to hydrolock...Do you have any aftermarket intake? or did it have it before you bought it? If it doesn't, check the driver-side fenderwall to see if there is any cut-out hole. If there is one, then there was an aftermarket cold air intake, increasing the possibility of previous hydrolock damage and now you're facing that problem...Anyway, I'm sorry to hear that
