A shiny car can blind potential carjackers just long enough to distract them while you steal their bikes. Be the better bandit with today's Groupon: for $35, you get four Guardian car washes at Easywash in North Vancouver (an $80 value).

Easywash bathes and buffs more than 40 automobiles per hour while maintaining eco-friendly amenities such as its own water well, which conserves more than 20 million litres of water each year. During the Guardian car wash, motorists pull their prized vehicle or 19th-century phaeton into one of three touch-free automatic bays. Refreshment starts from the ground up with an undercarriage cleaning, rust-inhibitor application, wheel wash, and tire cleaning. A hot soak and three-cycle wash massage away knots in the paint's soft tissue, followed by a polish, Rain-X protectant application, and spot-free rinse. A three-cycle dry whisks away any lingering beads of moisture.

Upon redeeming each wash, buyers get a new five-digit code on their receipt to punch in for the next wash, which can be redeemed 24 hours a day to satisfy midnight cleaning cravings from type-A chassis. Although not included in the price of this Groupon, additional spiff-up services are available during the concierge team's hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., including vacuuming ($10) and eco-express detailing ($17).
