If he is such a perfectionist he should consider a few more items than just two buckets...

Don't wash in full sun.
Don't wash vertical panels with horizontal movements
Don't wipe down fully wet car, pool the water and blow dry instead.
Don't do wheels after the paint, wheels first, then paint.
Don't use that much products on his pad, the pad will lose its function.
Don't put your fingers in the pot of wax, I wouldn't risk contaminating such ridiculously expensive wax.

But that's just my opinion...

You can wash in direct sunlight as long as you don't let the water dry. Water spots are basically minerals in the water itself that dries up. A water filtration system could just about illiminate this. Considering how much he spends on just the wax, his water is probably filtered. Coupled with the wax already on the car, it shouldn't be a problem. The surface temperature & the type of car soap also plays a role in how long before water spots appear.

Panels don't have a grain.

Clean quality Microfiber on a "clean" surface isn't going to damage the paint.

I think separate bucket for wheels would be better (3rd bucket).

I think it also said that the body heat from your hands helps with the wax. Just wash your hands first.

I was talking about him throwing on the most expensive stuff he can find, why take any chance...

Water could dry, any horizontal hairline surface scratch is easier noticable on a vertical panel plus the benefit of washing in the direction where gravity is taking your soap.

Wheels before paint to avoid getting dirt from your wheels back on your paint.

Even the cleanest highest quality MF can pick up a grain of missed dirt or something that blew on the car after washing and drag it over the paint.

Putting it on is fine, putting your hands in a jar you paid 6000 for, because it's so pure... Outside the fact that 6000 is just silly, no matter how much you wash your hands, oils from your hand will end up in your 6000 wax...

$6000. I would love to see someone justify that. I better be waxing something more than just a car at that price.

I agree, I'd bet almost nobody would be able to tell the difference between that and some $50 P21S... It's all about prepping the paint...
