Cheap drive through touchless car wash in SF?

I'm looking for a cheap drive through touchless car wash in SF. Any suggestions? I've been going to the chevron at 9th & Howard but its scratch central over there!

What do you consider cheap???? Tower Carwash (mission & van ness) is decent. Hand wash - no brushes!!!! I think its about $20. Not quite sure since I stop using them a while back.

If you are looking for a detailer, I could recommend the one I use regularly.

I'm talking about the ones that you literally drive through in —*their are some that are have brushes and others that spray. I want the spray version. They're cheap and fast.

Any cheap drive thru car wash.. is def not worth it....If u care about your car.. spend that extra cash.. and time.. and get yourself a hand wash..

Just my .2 cents.. especially since u have an E90...

Honestly bud, I didn't ask for your opinion or assessment of drive thru car washes. I just need a source. Figures, this site once again comes up broke for solutions.

With tower, you still have your car driven thru and they spray your car down inside the wash – which is no different than what I'm talking about. For a quicky regular splash, touchless drive thru's are fine. They have them all over the place in SoCal and its fast. With the weather we're having, I want a quick/cheap solution...

Check out your local supermarket's gas station. We have a Ralleys with a gas station and has a touchless wash which I use to prewash my car before I hand do it.

Broken? That's the best advice anyone has given you!
