Clay Bar Treatment FAQ – Lincoln, Nebraska

A clay bar treatment removes embedded contaminants like tree sap, road tar, brake dust, and industrial fallout that regular washing can’t touch. Even if your car looks clean, running your hand over the paint can reveal roughness — clay bar makes the surface smooth and ready for wax or sealant, giving your paint that showroom feel again.
For most vehicles in Lincoln, we recommend once or twice a year, depending on your driving habits. If your car is often parked outside, driven in winter salt, or exposed to tree sap, you may benefit from more frequent treatments to maintain that smooth, protected surface.
No — when done professionally with proper lubrication, clay bar treatment is safe and won’t scratch your paint. At MC Auto Detailing, we use high-quality clay mitts and detailing sprays to gently lift contaminants without harming your clear coat.
When added to our Wash N Wax service, clay bar treatment takes about 20 extra minutes. A typical Wash N Wax is about 45 minutes, so you can expect a total of around 65 minutes for both services.
Absolutely — the surface will feel slick, almost like glass. This smoothness helps your wax or sealant last longer, improves shine, and makes washing easier in the weeks after your appointment.
No, clay bar treatment is an add-on to our Wash N Wax service. This ensures we can dedicate the extra time and care needed for the process. You can add it for just $20 — Book your Wash N Wax with Clay Bar here.
