A shiny car is great for blinding potential carjackers long enough to distract them while you steal their bikes. Captivate your auto's admirers with today's Groupon: for $30, you get three Super Kiss washes ($11.99 each) and three interior cleanings ($8.50 each) at Delta Sonic Car Wash (a $61.47 total value including tax). This Groupon is valid at Delta Sonic’s Melrose Park, Naperville, Downers Grove, Joliet, Crestwood, Glenwood, Palatine, and Tinley Park locations.

Delta Sonic's Super Kiss car wash pampers four-wheel rides with a gentle touch-free system specially developed to leave exteriors bathed and unscathed. During the treatment, autos are rinsed with water from all angles; an undercarriage cleanse showers even the areas unreachable by crossbreeds of Mr. Clean and Stretch Armstrong. Once clean, steeds submit to a clear-coat polish and protectant that shields them from errant weather and guerilla shopping-cart attacks as well as a rust inhibitor that staves off iron-oxide invaders. Delta Sonic offers a free wash within five days of the original should a car find itself covered in sleet residue or incriminating face-prints.

During the 10-minute Complete Interior Cleaning, spic-and-span specialists turbo-clean interior vents and vacuum up sundae sprinkles from back-seat ice-cream socials. Smiley faces trapped in breath fog escape thanks to a window polish, and doorjambs and floor mats relinquish their hold on leaves and beach sand.
