Default Looking for a Brushless Car Wash

Like the title says. I am looking for a brushless car wash...preferably one without one of those wheel guards since I dont want to risk scratching my rims more than they already are.

I am familiar with Embassy Car Wash and such. The brushless place, I have been going to is located at the Sunoco Nears 7 Corners (close to the Eden Center), but they have a small wheel guard.

If you have an idea on the pricing it would also be nice...since I am not looking to spend 20 bucks to get it washed. I prefer to wash the car by myself but it is cold and I think Farifax Co is still under Water Restrictions.

Edit: I am trying to stay in the NOVA area.

RTE 1 Shell in Hybla valley (South of Alexandria, North of Belvoir).. next to the safeway and Honda/Volvo/Subaru dealership strip. There's also a car wash place slightly north of there.

Another on Rte29 near the 66 on-ramp in Falls Church... few blocks from the metro

Derangedazn, there's one off of Algonkian pkwy in Sterling about 3 miles from the Chik-Fil-A. It's a Sunoco. You can always hit that place up whenever you roll through. It's a laser wash with no wheel guard. That's the only one I go to. $8 for the Ultimate Wash.

the shell gas stations are perfect for lowered cars and actually washes pretty ok because they use some new technology machines. One at 29 and route 50 next chipotle and I think a few other shells are getting it also
