Unlike cats and germaphobes, automobiles need to be reminded to wash themselves. Drop a blatant hint to your lazy ride with today’s Groupon to Colonial Car Wash. Choose between the following auto-polishing options:

• $29 for eight basic exterior washes (a $58 value), available at all the Westmere and Rotterdam locations
• $25 for three full-service Rain-X washes (a $50 value), available at the Schenectady location

Colonial Car Wash’s octet of basic exterior washes keeps the outer hull of your road-ship unsullied by gunk, funk, and air pudding, so that it always looks like it just drove out of a commercial. The trinity of Rain-X-enhanced cleanings keeps your shining steel steed spotless and streak-free, with a high-gloss formula that repels rain, snow, and slurs against Andrew Jackson written on the hood’s dust by bitter, wandering Whigs.

Though Colonial Car Wash offers some 30-day car-wash memberships at a discount online, this Groupon can be used over a longer period of time, and still offers the best deal available.
