The Könings story
Mike Laskowski, our founder and lead detailer, refined his craft at McLaren Automotive and Rolls Royce motor cars. His hands-on involvement in every project at Könings showcases our commitment to quality. With two decades of industry experience, Mike brings knowledge and expertise to each project, elevating our standard of excellence to unparalleled heights.
His impressive career includes a nearly decade-long position as a paint specialist at McLaren and a master technician position in the finesse department of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. His vast knowledge and deep understanding of the automotive sector undeniably position him as one of the most experienced and highly skilled professionals in car detailing industry
At McLaren, Mike was more than just another employee. He played a pivotal role in the paint department, from pre-production panel inspections, to paint application and working in the final rework area at the end of vehicle builds, adding finishing touches, and maintaining impeccable quality. He shaped the future, training new team members in paint detailing, final rework, and quality inspection. He was also the driving force behind the preparation of show-stopping cars for prestigious motor shows in Geneva, Paris, and Shanghai from McLaren MP4-12c to P1 and Senna
His expertise then found its home in Rolls Royce’s Finesse department supporting the launch of RR Dawn and Phantom 8– a space dedicated to the highest-skilled automotive specialists. Here, Mike meticulously fine-tuned vehicles, making final adjustments in trim, paint, and body, ensuring they met the highest standards before gracing the driveways of the world’s elite customers.
In 2018, Michael decided to venture beyond the realm of automotive manufacturing to share his extensive knowledge and skills with a broader audience. His impressive tenure at esteemed companies like McLaren and Rolls Royce had endowed him with a deep-seated understanding of automotive excellence. Faced with the choice between establishing a vehicle restoration business or moving into car detailing, Michael identified a distinct gap in the detailing sector, making it an obvious choice. In an interview, Michael shared, “The car detailing industry is relatively unregulated, with limited formal qualifications available. However, with my extensive background in body shops, restoration, and the high standards of automotive manufacturing honed at McLaren and Rolls Royce, I knew I would bring a higher level of expertise to the table. While many detailers have transitioned from car wash operations, I have had the privilege of approaching this venture with a solid foundation built over nearly two decades in the automotive sector. This extensive experience undeniably sets Könings Detailing apart, allowing us to offer an unparalleled standard of quality and expertise to our customers.”
Our team is also working hard on Könings Detailing’s research programme, developing the latest and most advanced paint cosmetics and products for the prestigious automotive market.
