Driving a shiny car is a great way to experience luxurious transportation without the hassle of chartering a yacht or riding a peacock to work. Transform regular vehicles into ritzy rides with today's Groupon: for $12, you get two ultimate car washes at Car Wash USA Express (a $24 value), valid at various locations.

Car Wash USA Express's 3-minute tunnel wash grooms vehicles with a suite of sanitizing foams and shines. During each ultimate car wash, applications of Bug Off pluck critters from the premises as tire cleaners groom car feet and foamy bath treatments clear away grime, road film, and the smell of tow trucks past. After a high-pressure blast dispenses lingering gunk, coats of Lustra Tri-Gloss and LustraShield total-body protectant gild the clean exterior, tires get scrubbed, and a wheel blaster whittles away filth. Next, a shining treatment spruces up the tires, a spot-free rinse sprays away any leftover suds, and a dryer leaves the car shiny and moisture-free.
