In an automatic car wash, autos get clean without the dangers of bumbling human hands, much like getting teeth polished by a telekinetic dentist. Take a hands-off approach to car cleanliness with today's Groupon to Utah Auto Spa in West Valley City. Choose between the following options:

• For $10, you get two ultimate car washes with four minutes of interior vacuuming each (a $22 total value).
• For $25, you get five ultimate car washes with four minutes of interior vacuuming each (a $55 total value).

Utah Auto Spa doles out ultimate washes with automated technology and vehicle-vivifying products in roughly eight minutes. For the car that prefers a gentle touch, the Sparklesoft units carefully whisk away dirt and road debris with soft brushes—touch-sensitive autos, on the other hand, can enjoy the spa’s Water Wizard, which employs only water pressure to remove gunk. Once a thorough undercarriage wash whisks away mud, grime, and hook-handed hitchhikers from the car's nether regions, a double-pass hot presoak dons the guise of a good cop to wear away at filth's defenses before a bad-cop pressure rinse takes a more direct approach.

As the wash continues, an automated rocker panel blaster scrubs off wheels and tires, and triple-foam conditioner and clear-coat protectant refresh the car's road-weary skin. LustraShield hot wax creates a surface gloss that clearly reflects the jealous, open-mouthed stares of other cars on the road. Thanks to a double pass from the automatic dryer, vainglorious vehicles easily shed their excess moisture and head over to one of Utah Auto Spa’s six self-service shampoo-and-vacuum or fragrance-and-vacuum stations for a four-minute interior shakedown.
