Best Car Wash for Interior Car Cleaning?
Sometimes nothing beats having a good car wash thoroughly clean the interior of your car. When we were in Michigan, there was a car wash in Ann Arbor called Big Daddy's that always did an outstanding job cleaning the interior of our automobiles.
I have visited a car wash in Durham twice now (more for the interior cleaning than the exterior cleaning) and have been less than impressed with their eye for detail. Took my daughter's car there this past Saturday, and when they waved me over to reclaim my car, I asked them to clean the interior again. When they brought the car back the second time, there were still areas that needed attention. And I spent a LOT in hopes of getting a really thorough cleaning.
Suggestions anyone?

Try a mobile detailer. Perhaps one visits your place of employment? That's the route I take when I want a good interior and exterior cleaning.

What's a mobile detailer?
I've been looking for a place to get my car washed - inside and out. I live in Durham and frequently drive by the mobile car washers that set up shop in the 15/501 Super Target parking lot. Is that what you mean by mobile detailers? These particular folks don't inspire lots of confidence in me, I'm afraid.

There is a car wash place on Franklin Street right on the border between Chapel Hill and Carrboro that gets a lot of business and it looks like they do a good job. Can't remember the name. Something like Carolina Car Wash.

I've been taking my car for repairs and basic oil changing on the western side of Maynard. There are several places there you could check out in the area (Atlantic Tire, True2Form are the places I've gotten my car fixed) that do an *excellent* job. I particularly love Atlantic Tire because (although a little pricey) they do a great job and their customer service is outstanding. I even got a Christmas Card from them...
Aside from that, that area in Cary has a lot of car related businesses.

I usually just clean/vacuum my own car, but I have used AutoBell a few times. I have been satisfied with their service. Just my $0.02

I like Pristine Auto Spa in Morrisville. Never had a problem with them (and they have free wi-fi and computers while you wait). Their prices are pretty reasonable (especially compared to a gas station automatic wash).

Those could be considered a mobile detailer. But, I prefer the ones that get the seal of approval from my employer and have a weekly schedule set up with them.
