You did a wonderful job. If I may ask what does the 50/50 alcohol/water wipe down do? Thank you

Thank you!

I use that to remove any traces of oils and particles the polishes I use may have left on the panels. It also helps to see if there are any more imperfections left on the paint because some polishes will hide that if you don't wipe it off throughly.

Same here. That was the first thing I noticed when I backed the car out. The owner told me the PO didn't want HID's? Go figure.
