Robots are good for many things, including freaking out dogs and launching war on mankind, but they often lack the gentleness of a human touch. Rather than having bitter robots wash your car at a gas station, this Groupon gets your ride the luxurious hand washing it deserves: for $21, you get two The Works car washes at Forest Car Wash & Detail on Forest Lane near the tollway (up to a $45.98 value).

Forest Car Wash & Detail’s team of professional suds scrubbers gives the car’s interior and exterior a deep clean with The Works package. During the full-service hand wash, staffers will remove bugs, tree sap, and water spots from adventurous roadcraft. Next, they'll vacuum crumb-covered floor mats and clear consoles of incriminating fingerprints. Windows, tires, and rims get the royal wipe down before auto hulls are swiped with a clear-coat protectant—wrapping rides in a soothing but invisible travel cocoon. Finally, a mist of aromatic fragrance freshens auto nooks and crannies and armpits. Family owned and operated since 1991, Forest Car Wash & Detail treats customers like family, pinching chubby cheeks and filling hands with complimentary cups of joe. Customers can get their ride sleek and sparkly in time for a winter of holiday get-togethers and driving through fruit carts with today's Groupon.
