Our full interior detail is the most comprehensive car interior cleaning service available in Gatineau. We perform a complete deep-clean of every surface inside your vehicle — shampoo extraction on all fabric surfaces, steam treatment on hard plastics and trim, leather conditioning, stain removal, and full decontamination.
We recover 98% of stains in most cases. Whether your car has pet hair, food stains, coffee spills, or years of built-up grime — we bring it back to near-new condition. If your vehicle is newer or has been regularly maintained, pricing is often lower and assessed in person.
This service is far beyond what any car wash or drive-through detailing shop offers. Every vehicle gets dedicated time, professional-grade steam equipment, and premium cleaning products.
💡 Vehicles in excellent condition or recently maintained often qualify for lower pricing — assessed in person.
FAQ
Paint correction is the process of removing surface defects from your vehicle's clear coat — swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, oxidation, and holograms — using professional dual-action machine polishers.
ABC Detailing offers two levels of paint correction in Gatineau:
Full Polish (Paint Restoration): A complete machine polish that removes the majority of surface defects and restores depth, clarity, and gloss to your paint. This is the standard for vehicles that need a full refresh.
Showroom Shine (Polish + Wet Sanding): Our highest level of paint correction. Wet sanding followed by multi-stage machine polishing produces a mirror-like, competition-ready finish. This is the level you see on show cars and vehicles entering concours events.
Both services are ideal preparation before ceramic coating application.
💡 Showroom Shine is the highest level of paint correction we offer — the finish you see at car shows and competitions.
FAQ
Our paint protection service goes far beyond what any car wash or quick-wax shop offers. Before applying any sealant, we perform a light machine polish on all eye-level surfaces — hood, doors, trunk, and fenders — to enhance gloss and remove minor surface contamination.
We then apply a premium paint sealant that bonds to the clear coat and provides UV protection, hydrophobic water-repelling properties, and enhanced gloss for months.
This is not a hand wax. This is professional-grade paint protection that actually prepares and improves the surface before sealing it. No car wash in Gatineau does this.
💡 Includes a light machine polish on eye-level surfaces before sealant application — something no car wash offers.
FAQ
Ceramic coating is the most advanced form of paint protection available. A nano-ceramic polymer is applied to the vehicle's clear coat, chemically bonding to create a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, UV rays, and chemical contaminants for years.
At ABC Detailing, ceramic coating is offered as an add-on to our paint correction packages. We strongly recommend performing a full polish before coating — any defects under the coating will be permanently sealed in, so the surface must be perfect before application.
Ceramic coating is ideal for luxury vehicles, daily drivers who want long-term protection, and anyone who wants to minimize maintenance washing effort.
💡 Ceramic coating must be applied over a corrected surface. Full polish is strongly recommended before coating.
FAQ
Headlight oxidation is one of the most common and most overlooked issues on vehicles in Quebec. UV exposure, road debris, and time cause the polycarbonate lens to yellow, cloud, and haze — reducing visibility and making your vehicle look aged.
Our headlight restoration process uses UV sanding and machine polishing to remove the oxidized layer and restore crystal clarity. Results are dramatic — headlights that were nearly opaque become clear again.
We strongly recommend having PPF (Paint Protection Film) applied to headlights after restoration. Without protection, the oxidation will return within 1–2 years. With PPF, your headlights are protected for life.
💡 PPF application after restoration is strongly recommended for lifetime protection against future oxidation.
FAQ
Surface scratches, scuffs, and swirl marks are inevitable — but most of them don't require a repaint. Our scratch removal service addresses surface-level paint defects using machine polishing with or without sanding, depending on the depth of the scratch.
For deeper scratches that penetrate the clear coat, we use wet sanding to level the surrounding area before polishing. For full panels — a complete door, bumper, or tailgate — we offer a full panel polish that corrects the entire surface uniformly.
This service is ideal for vehicles with isolated damage, parking lot scuffs, or owners who want to address specific areas without committing to a full paint correction.
💡 Most surface scratches can be corrected without sanding. Deeper scratches are assessed individually.
FAQ
Selling your car privately? A professional detail before listing can add hundreds of dollars to your asking price and dramatically reduce time on market. Our quick polish and reseller detail targets the most visible exterior defects — the scratches and swirls that buyers notice immediately — and restores a fresh, clean shine.
This service is also popular with homeowners selling a vehicle, dealerships preparing trade-ins, and anyone who wants their car to look its best without committing to a full paint correction.
The result: a clean, shiny vehicle that photographs well and makes a strong first impression at viewing.
💡 Ideal for private market sellers, homeowners, and anyone wanting to maximize resale value.
