Unlike cats and germaphobes, automobiles need to be reminded to wash themselves. Drop a blatant hint to your lazy ride with today's Groupon: for $60, you get the Gold Detailing package for your car (a $120 value) at Xenon Detailing, operated out of the Hazelton Hotel in Yorkville. SUV owners pay an additional charge of $5 for plus-sized ablutions.

Employing a meticulous approach, the automotive authorities at Xenon Detailing bring class and panache to car care. The hour-long festivities begin with a tender sponge bathing of your horseless carriage's exterior, including interior and exterior surfaces of windows. Wheel wells are then indulged with a high-powered scrub that evicts brake dust and rotor shavings, and a complete tire dressing gets rubber out of muddy underclothes and into its original satiny finish. A comprehensive interior vacuuming undercuts stains left from years of combining the commute with tomato juggling, and a dash and console dusting allows drivers to politely oust hitchhiking dust mites. The masterstroke, an exterior wax, keeps snow and winter grime from bear-hugging cars, ensuring that vacationing neighbors and hibernating spouses can marvel at your wheelings and dealings even after the snow melts.
