Interior Car Cleaning for the Car You Drive Every Day

The Essential Interior Detail is our interior car cleaning package at MC Auto Detailing, a family owned drop-off shop at 2043 O St in Lincoln, NE. We blow out and vacuum the whole interior, wipe down the dash, console, cup holders and door panels, clean the door jambs and inside glass, and finish with an air freshener. It starts at $190 for a coupe or sedan.

It's the right call when your car just needs a good reset: a few weeks of dust, crumbs, fingerprints and whatever piled up on the floor. It's also a great way to keep a newer car looking new, or to get yours looking sharp before a road trip or a big week.

Need the seats or carpets shampooed? If you've got stains, spills, mud or salt you want gone, that's our Full Interior Detail, from $260. We'd always rather point you to the right package than the bigger one.

What's Included in an Essential Interior Detail

Here's exactly what you get, in the order we do it.

  1. Compressed air blowout

    Dust and crumbs get blown out of the vents, seat tracks, seams and tight spaces first, so the vacuum gets all of it.

  2. Full vacuum

    Carpets, seats, floor mats, the trunk and the spare tire area.

  3. Wipe-down and light scrub

    Dash, console, cup holders, door panels and every plastic surface. Light marks on the headliner get spot treated, and leather gets conditioned if it needs it.

  4. Door jambs

    The jambs and weather stripping, the spots that collect dirt every time you get in and out.

  5. Inside glass

    Every window and mirror cleaned streak free from the inside.

  6. Air freshener and a final check

    A long lasting air freshener to finish, then a final check before we text you that it's ready.

Pet hair removal isn't included in the Essential Interior. Add pet hair removal from $40, depending on how much you want removed, or choose the Full Interior, which includes light pet hair removal.

Essential or Full Interior? Here's How to Tell

The quick rule: if your seats or carpets need more than a vacuum, you need the Full Interior. If a thorough vacuum and wipe-down will do it, the Essential Interior is all you need.

Essential Interior

from $190

Choose the Essential Interior if your interior has:

  • No stains or spills on the seats or carpet
  • No heavy dirt, mud or salt in the carpet
  • No pet hair
  • No smells from spills, food or pets

You get: a full vacuum, a wipe-down of the dash, console and doors, clean door jambs and inside glass, and an air freshener.

We don't take urine cleanup of any kind, vomit in perforated leather seats, or mold or mildew of any kind.

Most popular

Full Interior

from $260

Choose the Full Interior if your interior has any of these:

  • Stains or spills on the seats or carpet
  • Heavy dirt, mud or salt in the carpet
  • Light pet hair (removal is included)
  • Smells from spills, food or pets

You get: everything in the Essential Interior, plus seats, carpets and mats shampooed with commercial grade carpet extractors, stains treated and light pet hair removed.

We don't take urine cleanup of any kind, vomit in perforated leather seats, or mold or mildew of any kind.

Pet hair? The Full Interior includes light pet hair removal. The Essential Interior doesn't include any, so pet hair removal is an add-on from $40, and more than light pet hair is from $40 with the Full Interior too. The price depends on how much hair there is and how much you'd like removed. Still not sure? Book the one you think fits and leave a note. We look every car over at drop-off and confirm the price before we start.

Build Your Detail in 3 Easy Steps

Here's the easy way to get exactly what your car needs, and nothing it doesn't. Prices are starting prices for a coupe or sedan.

    Going with the Full Interior? The Full Inside and Out adds a hand wash, clay bar and longer lasting, more durable ceramic hand wax to protect your paint, from $310.

    ✓ Headlight restoration, $50, for cloudy or yellow headlights

Essential Interior Questions We Get a Lot

How much does interior car cleaning cost in Lincoln, NE?

Our Essential Interior Detail starts at $190 for a coupe or sedan, $220 for a 5 seat SUV / crossover or truck, $260 for a 7 to 8 seat SUV and $280 for a minivan. If you need the seats or carpets shampooed, the Full Interior starts at $260. We confirm your price before we start.

What's included in the Essential Interior Detail?

A compressed air blowout, a full vacuum (including the trunk and spare tire area), a wipe-down and light scrub of the dash, console, cup holders, door panels and plastics, the door jambs and weather stripping, headliner spot treatment, streak free inside glass and a long lasting air freshener.

How do I know if I need the Essential Interior or the Full Interior?

Here's the quick rule: if your seats or carpets need more than a vacuum (stains, spills, mud, salt or smells from spills or pets), book the Full Interior. If a thorough vacuum and wipe-down will do it, the Essential Interior is all you need. Pet hair removal isn't included in the Essential Interior, so it's an add-on from $40 (depending on how much you want removed), while the Full Interior includes light pet hair removal.

How long does an Essential Interior take?

Most details take 3 to 6 hours, depending on the size and condition of the vehicle, and the Essential Interior is the quicker of our two interior packages. Drop off in the morning and most cars are ready the same day. Cars dropped off after 1 PM are ready the next day.

Can you get out a small spot or stain?

Spots on hard surfaces come right off in the wipe-down. Stains in the seats or carpet need a shampoo, and that's what the Full Interior does with commercial grade carpet extractors. Not sure? Leave a note when you book and we'll take a look at drop-off.

Is pet hair removal included?

Not in the Essential Interior or Essential Inside and Out. With those, pet hair removal is an add-on from $40. The Full Interior and Full Inside and Out include light pet hair removal, and more than light pet hair is an add-on from $40 with those too. The price goes up from there depending on how much hair there is and how much of it you'd like removed. Just want it better, not perfect? Tell us and we can keep it at $40. More on pet hair removal.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes. Leather gets wiped down, and it's conditioned if it needs it.

Will my car smell better?

Yes. A full vacuum, a wipe-down and a long lasting air freshener freshen things up. If a smell is coming from spills or pets in the seats or carpet, the Full Interior's shampoo gets to the source.

How often should I get my car detailed?

We recommend an Essential Interior or Essential Inside and Out every 3 months, and a Full Interior or Full Inside and Out every 6 months. That keeps the inside from ever getting away from you.

Can I add the outside too?

Yes. The Essential Inside and Out adds a hand wash, clay bar and long lasting ceramic hand wax to keep your paint looking good, from $230. You can also add headlight restoration or engine bay cleaning for $50 each.

Do you come to my house or work?

No. We're a drop-off shop, and every car is detailed inside our shop at 2043 O St, Lincoln, NE 68510.

How do I book an Essential Interior?

Schedule online in about 2 minutes: pick your vehicle, package and time, then pay a 25% deposit that comes off your total. It's fully refunded if you cancel more than 72 hours ahead. Questions? Call or text 402-525-7201.
