"Now i then spotted a problem on the roof which i was really unhappy about...A small paint blob about half a mm in size but none the less its there probably a spit from the spray gun..."
"So i now decided to give the car a full Isopropanol wipe down mixed 50:50 with Evian spring water.."
"I find hand waxing very therapeutic and i also believe that for the ultimate finish hand waxing does give a little extra as after doing cars by pad and hand i feel the catalyst takes place better due to the heat between wax and bodywork and better bonding is evident....."
"When applying wax by hand i think everyone applys it differently but i find personally for me a flat wipe then herringbone works best as ive been taught as it smoothes the surface and gets maximum spread then the herringbone part makes sure every square inch of the bodywork is applied to a multitude of times to ensure no area is missed...."
"I wanted Eibach Sportlines for the car as i get around a 40mm drop and i like the stance of the car....Springs also waxed in 2 layers..."
W...T...F?!??!
That guy REALLY needs to get a life (or get some hookers to knock his junk around).
Imagine how apeshit he'd go if some birdcrap fell on his car...

I feel it's worth adding that the owner of that car is a very nice guy. He lives quite close to me in the uk and the car's shown fairly frequently throughout the uk and he's well respected for it.
Nice to see the attention to detail and someone caring for their pride and joy so much
