Unhappy *cry* Coffee 1 - My passenger seat 0

Anyone know any shops in the northbay that I can get my passenger seat cleaned. While readying my morning coffee delivery for work (probably more than is intelligent to drive with), I knocked my own coffee which I had carefully set aside. It ofcourse took a nose dive directly into my passenger seat. I soaked up as much of it as I quickly could with paper towels, then drove to work and spent a good half hour cleaning it with lots of water and more towels and rags. At this point, it appears visibly clean but I still think I want it professionaly done to be safe. I guess I could just use this as an excuse to get new seats.. jdm prodrive sport seat.. mmmmm.

just get the Prodrives, and be happy ..... otherwise, try and find a Duckys.... my brother had a complete interior detail done there.... shampooing of carpets/seats, complete leather detail, windows, whole nine yards..

piad $81, including exterior wash. he hasnt detailed the interior in 5 years, and it looks better than new....

Sop up as much as you can, and carefully towel it dryish. Then, use resolve... Works wonders. You may need to have it professionally cleaned to get all of it out though - it might still smell like coffee... I have such bad luck with coffee in my car, now I 'just say no.'

You can get 'em steam-cleaned at Classic Carwash for $30.

NM, I see you're in Santa Rosa...too far from the South Bay.

I was lucky enough not to get coffee or soda on my seats. I had my coffee in my travel mug in my cup holder and my dumbass filled it up a bit too much. Let's just say that one good bump later, a part of my dash had Seattle's Best with carmel creamer on it. Also, there was a time I left my fast food cup in my cup holder for a couple days and the cup broke and leaked. >_<
