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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Konings Car Detailing by a local paint shop in Winchester, as being a company that could remove minor scratches caused by car washers leaning over the bonnet and getting too close to hedges.
I was warmly greeted by the company's owner, Mike Laskowski, who examined my car and then gave me 3 options of how the scratches could be removed and protection against stone chips, namely a basic polish, a ceramic polish and finally, what can be best described as covering the car in cling film.  In fact it is a Paint Protection Film called Ultimate Plus (XUPL).
Mike then demonstrated on another car in his workshop by first using a bronze brush, similar to a suede shoe brush, and rubbing over the car bonnet.  As you would expect this produced a lot of minor scratches.  He then used a hair dryer to blow warm air over the scratches, which disappeared before my eyes.  Mike stated that warm sunny weather would have the same effect.
Needless to say I chose the 3rd option.  The work is covered by a 10 years warranty, which is transferrable to a new owner.
Whilst the treatment is not cheap the result is absolutely stunning and will remain so for years to come, enhancing the car's value should I decide to sell my car in the future.
I can highly recommend Konings Car Detailing if you want a car that always looks like you have just driven it out of the showroom.
Mike's previous experience of working for McClaren and Rolls Royce clearly shows in his genuine knowledge of bodywork and paint finishes and his pride in producing with his team a first class finish.
Thank you Mike.

The customer experience was excellent, I was kept up to date on progress via calls, video’s and photos. Very easy and straightforward to deal with and no request was too much trouble. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is very rare that I write a review for any products, goods or services and provide a recommendation, however on this occasion I feel compelled to write a review. Konings at Winchester transformed my car, a black Porsche Cayenne S. Konings applied a chameleon metallic green PPF, it is stunning.  They also undertook internal detailing and treatment to all the leather work and applied clear PPF to the piano black surfaces.  The whole experience from start to finish was outstanding. It was a real pleasure dealing with Mike, the owner of the business. Mike was very thorough to explain the whole service provision and what I would expect as a finished product and I was not disappointed with the outcome.  The team at Konings did a remarkable job, on time, within the agreed price and to the desired quality standard. If you want your car wrapped then Mike and Konings in Winchester is the place to go.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have used Konings for the last 3 years, from collection of a brand new car and then annual maintenance. After 18k miles the car is still "as new". Mike and the team are passionate about what they do, and what they do is excellent. Love going to collect my car from them it is always immaculate.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my Lotus to Mike and his team to have some ppf re-applied, some additional ppf and a thorough valet and deep clean. They did a fantastic job. The car still looks better than it did when it left the factory and is now also protected with the best Xpel ppf. I'd definitely recommend Konings detailing
