Mechanics souped up the earliest horseless carriages by filling them with premium oats and lovingly grooming their spoilers. Scrub your steed with today’s Groupon: for $45, you get an auto-care package at Fx Auto Tint & Sales in Whitby (a $114.90 total value). The package includes:

• Exterior car wash and interior vacuum (a $64.95 value)
• Aquapel treatment (a $49.95 value)<p>

Technicians at Fx Auto Tint & Sales meticulously hand-groom car shells, tidy up the insides, and equip glass with Aquapel visibility treatment. During the service, which takes 1.5–2.5 hours, the deft dirt-hunters scrub the exterior by hand, targeting tar, grime, and spots created by errant radar guns. Cleaners then caress the car with a gentle chamois dry, duck down to clean and dress the tires, and oust dirt from the interior with a vacuum. After techs wipe down windows, they coat the glass with Aquapel, a water-repelling treatment inspired by technology used in the aviation industry, to maintain safe visibility through inclement weather or beneath clouds that have been chopping onions.
