This is what I call dedication. I also notice that the owner PAYS someone else to do this. I've seen his work before, he is a true perfectionist. i wonder how often his clients get the full treatment.

Yup, Enfield would drive that R8 to the gas station for a quick wash and the extra $1 foam detail. :D

First I wouldn't use a high pressure sprayer at a 90 deg angle
I would take the wheels off the car to clean not only the rims but to check the tires for any road damage, nails etc. Also, I would clean the tires so they are black from cleaning all round.
I would put the car on jack stands (at a minimum) or hire a car bay with a lift for the day. It allows you to get those lower body panel parts, under car areas, wheel wells and saves your back at the same time.
I use my microfibre towels so that a corner or edge never touches the car surface.
I spend more time preparing the car for polish than promoting products.

The list goes on but I am sure you get my point.

The detailers here never seem to take the wheels off. VXRMARC has done a Veyron detailing and is famous for the detailing he did on his very own ... Astra! :rofl:

Isn't that the one where everyone was slagging him for all the attention to his car and not even commenting on the job he did? I thought I recognized the car in the background.

Yes, I never want to live next door to you as I'd spend all my time trying to get just a little more shine out of my car to keep up with you!
