Robots are good for many things, including freaking out dogs and launching war on mankind, but they often lack the gentleness of a human touch. Give your car the empathetic touch of a hand wash with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $40 for a headlight restoration or Spiff detailing service (a $100 value)
  
• $50 for a mini-works wash and wax with paint sealer (a $115 value)
  
• $85 for a complete auto detailing (up to a $225 value) that includes the following:
  • A hand wash
  • Wheel, tires, and undercarriage cleaning
  • Clean door jams and trunk area
  • Carpet and seat wash and shampoo
  • A vent blowout
  • Headliner, dashboard, and window cleaning

During a Spiff cleaning, technicians start with an exterior and undercarriage wash, before scouring wheels, tires, and windows. Staff also vacuum interiors, clean door jams, wipe down dashboards, and shampoo floor mats. With a headlight restoration, experts buff and restore front lenses, and apply a protective sealant. The 90-minute mini-works wash and wax couples an exterior cleaning with a protective paint sealer to preserve color against the elements. Clocking in around four hours, the complete auto-detailing service piggybacks the Spiff cleaning with a thorough tire and undercarriage cleaning. Inside, techs clean the headliner and blow out all vents while applying a protectant to exteriors.
