The spinning of the scrubbers in a car wash sucks grime off the surface of the vehicle, similar to how the spinning of a slide projector sucks the fun out of a family reunion. Give your ride a centripetal cleaning with today's Groupon: for $12, you get a gold-package car wash at Dadeland Car Wash (a $26.64 value).

The diligent detailers at Dadeland Car Wash free besmirched vehicles from their accumulated grime seven days a week. The gold-package cleaning begins with a trip through the exterior-purifying wash tunnel, spraying each carriage’s over- and undersides to remove hitchhiking dirt and tar. A tire shine and wheel clean gives each circular limb a complete manicure and a vision-clear treatment ensures unerring interpretation of important bumper stickers. Finally, the triple-foam conditioner leaves each paint job with a pearlescent luster for sparkly strolls down side streets and superhighways.
