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. Rather than having bitter robots washing your car at a gas station, this Groupon gets your ride the luxurious hand washing it deserves at Champion Hand Car Wash in Northport. Choose from the following options:

• For $25, you get two Gold washes (up to a $53.98 value).
• For $59, you get five Gold washes (up to a $134.95 value).
• For $75, you get eight Gold washes (up to a $215.92 value).<p>

Champion Hand Car Wash’s Gold wash leaves cars shining like new and safeguards them from grime splashed up during future road trips. During the 15-minute cleaning, staffers manually wash and buff the entire car, saving it from the impersonal touch of machines and the furtive touch of forest-dwelling auto enthusiasts. To protect the car body from paint chips and general wear, staffers coat the vehicle in clear-coat sealant and Rain-X total-body protectant. Car washers clean and polish windows, shine tires and rims, and restore wheels to pristine road-hugging condition. Staffers also vacuum the nooks and crannies of car interiors, shampoo four mats, and wash the auto’s undercarriage until it’s clean enough for owners to nap beneath after a long day.

Though Champion Car Wash sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
