The unrealistic portrayal of cars in TV shows leads children to believe all cars have squealing tires, thunderous engines, and the guts to talk back to David Hasselhoff. Give your car a new image with today's Groupon: for $69, you get a full exterior and interior automotive detail cleaning (a $179 value) at Automotive Services of Boston in Medford.

The excellence-certified aesthetes at Automotive Services of Boston doll up vehicles inside and out during this two- to three-hour detailing. Drop off your sloppy jalopy and take advantage of the shop's complimentary shuttle, which returns owners anywhere within a 10-mile radius. The process begins with a thorough wash, hand polish and tire treatment. Inside the vehicle, grime mired on carpets, mats, and upholstery is slapped with a five-second eviction notice. A dressing leaves interior panels and consoles spotless, and a hearty coat of conditioner reglosses leather surfaces. Dazzling chariots will then be returned to their dwelling, for purchasers who live within a 10-mile radius, greeting owners with a sparkling new coat and a happily wagging exhaust pipe.
