Cheaper car wash in Beaverton/Hillsboro area?

In the winter, I ususally head over to Carriage House car wash on TV and cedar hills to get the 8 cleaned. It gets a little pricey at $22 a pop, but hey its a touchless car wash.

Any other touchless car washes around that may be a cheaper? I dont want the micro scratches left by the other brush car washes.

instead you would like the touchless wash's harsh detergents to strip your 8 of protection leading to premature paint failure? Do yourself a favor and get out to wash the thing by hand...light regular wash should only take you 30 mins or so including drying. And your time is free! Plus it allows for owner and 8 bonding experiences. Love your Mazda....wash it by hand...

My poor 8 is DIRTY! And I have such a hard time forcing myself out into the cold to wash it. Coldness, water, and me don't mix well.
