Make Your Paint Shine and Protect It Against Nebraska Weather

A simple service to get your car looking better

Not only will you see a big difference in the appearance, but you'll be able to feel the smoothness and slickness of the paint once we're done with the service. A lot of our customers love this service because it doesn't take much time to perform, but the results you get really make your paint pop.

At MC Auto Detailing, we use quality products and take our time on every vehicle. We're not rushing through your car to get to the next one. We clean every wheel, wash every panel by hand, clay bar the entire vehicle to remove stuck on dirt, and then apply a protective wax that keeps your paint looking good for months.

Here's the thing about Lincoln's weather: you've got brutal summer sun that bakes your paint, road salt all winter that eats away at the finish, and everything in between. A good wax creates a protective barrier against all of that. It makes washing easier next time, helps water bead right off, and keeps your paint from fading as fast.

Why Get a Hand Wash & Wax

✨

Makes Your Paint Pop

Wax creates a smooth, reflective surface that makes your paint color look deeper and richer. You'll notice the difference immediately.

🛡️

Protects Against the Elements

UV rays, road salt, bird droppings, tree sap. All of it damages your paint over time. A good wax creates a barrier that takes the hit instead of your clear coat.

💧

Water Beads Right Off

That satisfying water beading effect isn't just for show. It means dirt and grime have a harder time sticking, making your next wash way easier.

🚗

Easier Maintenance

Once your paint is waxed, dirt doesn't bond as strongly. Your weekly washes take less time and you'll use less soap and scrubbing.

The Hand Wash & Wax Process

Here's exactly what we do to your car

1

Clean Wheels and Tires

A proper detail starts at the wheels. We spray our cleaner, scrub with a variety of brushes to get into every spoke and crevice, then rinse away all the grime and brake dust.

2

Thorough Hand Wash

Next, we wash the vehicle from top to bottom. That includes cleaning the door jambs, gas cap, and removing bugs off the front end. No automatic car wash here, just good old fashioned hand washing.

3

Clay Bar Treatment

Even after washing, your paint can still feel rough. Our clay bar treatment removes embedded contaminants that normal washing can't touch. Your paint will feel really smooth after this.

4

Apply Ceramic Wax by Hand

Once the paint is prepped, we hand apply a ceramic wax (we use TEC 582, Griot's Garage 3-in-1, or Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Solutions). This adds that layer of shine and protection that makes the whole service worth it.

5

Dress Tires

We dress the tires with a water based dressing to make them look fresh. It'll be dry to the touch once applied. No sticky greasy dressing here.

6

Clean Exterior Glass and Windows

Finally, we clean your exterior glass and windows to give you crystal clear vision. No streaks, no haze.

Hand Wash & Wax FAQ

Common questions about our service

We use ceramic wax products like TEC 582, Griot's Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax, and Turtle Wax Ceramic Hybrid Solutions. All are applied by hand for the best results.
It depends on how you store your car. If it's garaged at work and at home most of the time, you can get four to six months. If your car sits outside in the sun, cold, and rain all the time, maybe three months. Also, if you wash your car with dish soap, you'll start stripping the protective layer off.
Applying wax will hide micro-light swirls in your paint. They're essentially filled in with the wax which creates more shine. So technically it hides the really light swirls, but it doesn't actually remove any of them. You'd want paint correction if you want them permanently removed. That said, your paint will look much glossier because the wax creates a more uniform surface.
Usually around 1 hour depending on the size of your vehicle and how dirty it is. We don't rush. We take our time to make sure every step is done right.
The hand wash and wax is exterior only. But if you want the interior cleaned, you can add our Full Interior Detail service. That way both the outside and inside of your car will look amazing.
You're welcome to wait if you'd like, but most customers prefer to drop off their vehicle and pick it up when it's done. We'll give you a call when it's ready.
We're locally owned, fully insured, and backed by 65+ five star Google reviews from Lincoln and Lancaster County customers. We use quality products, take our time on every vehicle, and we actually care about the results. No rushing, no shortcuts.
