Washing a car, like performing taxidermy on a marlin, keeps it looking the way it did when it first came off the line. Preserve your greatest catch with today's Groupon to Mr Kleen Car Wash and Detailing Center in Alexandria. Choose between the following options:

• For $32, you get three VIP car washes (up to a $71.85 value).
• For $25, you get three Ultimate car washes (a $51 value).

Mr Kleen's pro cleaners give rides the rock-star treatment they deserve, from glossing exteriors to shaking footprints and spilled slushies out of floor mats. Both wash options invade car interiors with a thorough vacuuming to remove all candy-wrapper chalk outlines before windows are wiped clean. Each people- and matter-transporter receives a soft-cloth wash followed by a surface-sleeking, Blue Coral triple clear-coat treatment and sealant. Then, spick-'n'-span specialists tickle vehicular underbellies with gentle jets of water and ward off rust bunnies with an underbody corrosion inhibitor. Both laundering treatments revive asphalt-weary rubber with a professional-grade brightener, and the VIP upgrade also homes in on wheel wellness by scrubbing away brake dust, polishing rims, and dressing tires, the dashboard, and the exterior in a sheath of like-new luster.
