how often do people do this?
when i do my car properly it goes on axle stands and parts come off the body work like mirrors, door handles, trim etc
how far do people go when detailing other people's cars? as a lot of videos i have watched do not show the pro's taking wheels off to...
interestingly, exactly the same at this end, dad had a finance review the other day (couple of months back really) and came home, sold the rs4 and bought an oil chugger audi as the other car lol

used SRP each time i polish her, on all windows, works a treat on rears and sides, but the front has been bashed with so many stones and grit pieces over the years, it does look a little tired :(
chris' white replica had this problem, i took to it with a very soft bristle brush before any detailing had started to ensure i did not put back scratches that i had removed with PCing.

oh, and bilberry on a family car =...
do what we did on the Mongol Rally

note, using WD40 with this is not a good idea. . . . nor is it a good idea if your fuel tank is near the bolt ;)
my belt went on my 1.2 16v and was no damage to the cambelt. pretty sure you are safe but do not take the risk, either get someone out or get it down to a garage
