The studio · Rotterdam M4H
A former harbour workshop in Rotterdam's Merwe-Vierhavens, rebuilt around colour-accurate lighting, filtered water and dust-controlled air. The room exists so that nothing can hide.
Most detailing hides damage under gloss. We remove the damage, and the gloss is what's left. That's the whole philosophy — the shine is a by-product of the truth.
Method
Paint-depth readings on every panel, defects mapped under 6,500 K light, and a fixed quote agreed before any work begins.
Snow foam, iron dissolvers and clay leave the surface chemically and mechanically bare — the only honest starting point.
Dual-action polishing in measured stages, removing microns — not millimetres — until the reflection reads undistorted.
Ceramic or sealant, levelled by hand, cured under infrared, and checked with a contact-angle test before we call it done.
Collection under the audit light, with a panel-by-panel report of what was found, what was removed, and what protects it now.
Selected work · Demonstration projects
A weekend car washed by nine years of drive-through brushes. Two-stage correction recovered 92% of measurable defects; a ceramic system now keeps the metallic flake legible at dusk.
Two children, one dog, six years. Full extraction, steam pass and leather feed brought the cabin back to delivery condition — then fabric impregnation made sure it stays recoverable.
Collected from the dealer with transport-film residue and light marring. A single-stage polish while the clearcoat was at full depth, then ceramic on paint, wheels and glass.
