Making sure your car is as spick and span as the day it followed you home is important for maintaining man/machine friendship, which, if left unmaintained, can lead to a heartbreak and engine failure. Solidify your bond with today's Groupon: for $23, you get a hand car wash and liquid hand wax (a $65 value) at Texas Splish Splash Hand Car Wash, with two locations in Webster and Pearland.

Eschewing the cold, calculating spray of automatic equipment, Texas Splish Splash Hand Car Wash's cadre of certified human beings uses naturally evolved coupe-cleaning appendages to gently scrub away dust and grime with lamb's mitts, taking care to polish off hard-to-reach muck in door jambs and behind the car's ears. After a thorough vacuuming clears floors of musty warrens of dust bunnies, smudges on the inside and outside of windows will be wiped away, leaving only crystalline highway sightlines. After the entire chassis is dried with a streak-defeating chamois and tires are dressed in darling sailor suits, Splish Splash's motor massage closes with a coat of liquid wax to deflect airborne debris and seal in your roadster's glistening, restless wanderlust.
