The technicians at Premier Auto Spa lavish the metal exteriors of autos with dozens of soft and gentle swipes during basic and full-service washes. Hands run along paint, sudsing frames free of dirt using a mild, pH-balanced formula that protects and bolsters cars’ pre-existing clear coat before rinsing exteriors and gently toweling them dry. The techs complement these washes with detailing services and cater to overlooked areas of the vehicle by cleaning headlights or using rotary brushes to swab rims. Premier Auto Spa also welcomes vehicles typically unaccustomed to the car wash, including motorcycles, tractors, and street-legal pogo sticks.

If your shady parking spot rests beneath bird-filled trees, or someone scrawled carpetbagger into the layer of grime on your car window, Super Speed Wash can give your vehicle its original off-the-lot shine. With today's Groupon, you'll get $50 worth of car-wash services for $30 at any of Super Speed Wash's seven locations. This Groupon isn't just great for sprucing up your own car: it also makes the perfect passive-aggressive gift for your carpool buddies. Follow @Groupon_Says on Twitter.

In 1986, Scott Wells' friend introduced him to the world of automotive window tinting, and Scott became hooked on the benefits. As the decades went by, Scott found more applications for window tinting, including residential buildings and giants in need of sunglasses. His efforts paid off in 2003, when Scott realized the dream of opening his own business and created ProTint (formerly ARC Window Tinting).

The most popular reason for window tinting, Scott says, is to block out the heat. On the surface, this may seem a simple response, but a decrease in heat renders many ancillary benefits, including increased energy efficiency and decreased air-conditioning costs. The tints also guard against up to 99 percent of UV rays and can prevent shattering, helping protect homes from strong winds during tornadoes or hurricanes. Scott's products have cosmetic applications as well, and his crew can create frosted designs such as geometric shapes or written insults aimed at the sun.
