Self-service car detailing? (New Bern, Wake Forest: store, car wash, best)

[Caarmour]

This is really quite horrifying, but yesterday, I had my little dog in the car with me. Car rides make her nervous, and this time, she *ahem* had an accident on the passengers side seat.

And I'm not talking like, number one. She had a full blown accident. I cleaned it up as best as I could for the time being.

Now, I am looking for a place that I could go near the DTR area where I would vacuum and potentially shampoo my own upholstery. Is that a thing? I need to get this cleaned up, I am so embarrassed by the stain.

there's car washes along New Bern Ave east of downtown. You might prefer the American pride on Wake Forest Road, just north of downtown near Hodges St.

i'm pretty sure you'll have to bring your own method to clean the upholstery though. They have big vacuums, but I've not heard of any car wash that has a carpet/upholstery shampooing gizmo.

Kind of, but unlike tire-black and soap and spray on wax, you will need to first go to an AutoZone/PepBoys/Oreilly's type store and look for a shampoo product/uphostery cleaning product. And afterwards, be sure you scotch guard your seats. I know the dealership I worked at had some stuff that worked well in a spray bottle, but I don't think it had a brand (ordered by the gross, plain white aerosol bottle.)
