Like babies, cars are cursed with the inability to tell their owners when they are soiled, often resulting in peeling paint, rusty rims, and embarrassing rashes. Seek the intervention of a car-whisperer with today's Groupon: for $24, you get three Plus washes at Sparkles Car Wash on Highway 6 South (a $47.97 value).

The car-lathering whizzes at Sparkles Car Wash treat each motor vehicle that accelerates their way to a thorough cleaning the culminates in a gleaming finish. Each Plus car wash begins with a comprehensive exterior wash, followed by a triple form wax and conditioner application that will leave normally noisy mufflers cooing with delight. Next, the Sparkles crew will treat the interior of your four-wheeled chariot to a vacuuming and an air freshener—clearing its floors of its piles of gum wrappers, olive pits, and sloughed snake skins. Finally, a high-pressure wheel clean blasts away embedded taco shells from your spinning treads to ensure smooth, uncrunchy pavement sailing. While you await your vehicular facelift, keep up on your emails and ransom tweets with the lobby’s abundant WiFi. Sparkles also offers a five-day rain check, so you can come back in for a retouch if Mother Nature douses your hood in filthy sky water after your wash.
