Gatineau detailing, des deux côtés de la rivière.
We cross the bridge constantly and there is no surcharge for it. One thing is genuinely different on the Québec side, though, and it is the tint rules — worth reading before you book film.
Car detailing in Gatineau.
Gatineau is a normal part of our week, not an exception. Hull, Aylmer, the Plateau, Buckingham, Masson-Angers — the unit carries its own water and power, so the only thing that changes when we cross the Portage is the paperwork on window film.
The salt situation is, if anything, worse than on the Ontario side. The Autoroute 50 and the hills around the Gatineau Park put a particular kind of grit on a car between December and March, and it ends up in the carpets.
Le service est offert en français ou en anglais, selon votre préférence.

Window tint and Québec law
This is the one thing that genuinely differs across the river, and getting it wrong costs you a ticket. In Québec the SAAQ requires the two front side windows to let through at least 70% of light. That rules out the dark fronts you see on Ontario-plated cars.
The rear windows and the back glass have no such limit in Québec, which is why the most common Gatineau job is a light, heat-rejecting ceramic film on the fronts and whatever shade you like behind the B-pillar.
Ontario has no numeric limit written into the Highway Traffic Act, but a safety inspection on a 2017-or-newer vehicle requires 70% on the fronts, so the practical answer ends up similar. The tint visualiser on our window tint page shows you what each shade actually looks like before you commit.

Gatineau questions
Good to know.
Quelle est la loi sur les vitres teintées au Québec?
La SAAQ exige que les deux vitres avant laissent passer au moins 70% de la lumière. Les vitres arrière et la lunette n’ont pas de limite. Nous posons un film céramique clair à l’avant — il bloque la chaleur sans assombrir — et la teinte de votre choix à l’arrière.
Do you charge extra to cross the bridge to Gatineau?
No. Gatineau is part of our normal service area and priced the same as Ottawa. We are over there most weeks.
Can I get the same dark tint as my friend in Ottawa?
On the rear windows, yes. On the two front windows, no — Québec requires 70% light transmission there and the fine is real. The usual answer is a clear ceramic film on the fronts, which rejects most of the heat without darkening the glass, and a darker shade behind.
Faites-vous le détaillage de bateaux sur la rivière des Outaouais?
Oui — à la marina, à la rampe de mise à l’eau ou sur la remorque chez vous. Le polissage de coque est de 40$ le pied et le revêtement céramique marin de 50$ le pied.
