A spotless car attracts favorable attention from the opposite gender, avian graffiti artists, and the person whose house you just drove it through. Make a clean getaway with today’s Groupon to Fresh Start Detail Co. in Beaverton. Choose between the following options:

• For $99, you get an exterior detail on a small vehicle (a $228 value).
• For $149, you get an exterior detail on a large vehicle (up to a $348 value).<p>

An extra charge of $60 applies to black or oxidized vehicles.<p>

Since 1983, Fresh Start Detail Co.’s small crew of certified auto detailers has been rejuvenating the frazzled surfaces of cosmetic-minded people movers. Technicians scrub down the pelts of gas-powered ponies, buffing away roadway blemishes caused by tar, sap, or reenactments of the Boston Molasses Disaster. A one-step polish brings back factory-issue shine, and a hand paste wax boosts glossy coats while protecting and prolonging surface health.

When reserved at the time the appointment is booked, a four-door automatic BMW loaner will sub in for clients’ chariots for a $5 fee and proof of insurance. Drivers must top off gas to its pre-drive levels before returning the car to the shop, and no pets, cigarettes, or cigarette-smoking pets are allowed inside.
