Here's the deal... You always do the Motor first so you can spray a water based protectant everywhere and not have to worry about getting it on the paint.
I reality though.....Protectants are not as good as you might think because they are dirt magnets. They hold dirt to the hoses and when the hose vibrates, the dirt acts as sandpaper causing wear on the hoses....
The best way to protect the hoses is by wiping down the excess to get a clean, "dry look".
Nice effort though you were 95% there.

Also BMW pic # 14.....Wheel wells are dirty and Tire protectant should cover the first row of treads.
BMW pic # 18....Door pillars have fingerprints on them
Pic 19 has Swirl on door.
Last but not least....clean camera lense

Sorry for bustin on ya....but stuff like that used to always get me when I saw other detailers cars.....they always forgot the little things....and always charged a premium price.
I was the best in my area and charged the most and when I was done..... only Jesus could make it look better.

Remember: Foam pad at leat twice! ;]-

As long as we're being picky, lol, I love the way 303 Aerospace Protectant works under the hood and inside the vehicle. It just makes everything look new without adding any shine and it's not a dust magnet. It doesn't hold up too well in the rain but thats why I use Vynilex on the exterior bits and tires.
Happy detailing all, now get out there and shine em up right.
