Do you plan to clean it with pressurized water or manually going through all surfaces/sockets/tights/etc ? That's a big difference

Sounds like a perfect DIY question to me. Either way I suggest removing door from frame and doing the paintjob on open air. Sorry I cant help ontopic better.

WD40 wears off quite quickly though. You need a proper lubricant for a proper lasting result.

comment Honda Prelude: digital fuel and temp gauges dimming and brightening repeatedly
How do other lights behave? Is it possible they all dim and brighten in unison? Does the effect occur on idle and/or if you press accelerator pedal?

comment Should I change my tires so they all match?
Don't forget to check you country regulations, at least here in Russia it is against the code to have different tires on same axis.

Check the wiring you may have moved during replacement, maybe there's bad contact or something.

3.1 Insert new spark plug and catch the thread manually before using a socket wrench, otherwise you risk to overturn the thread.

Sounds like brake pads are not pulled off the rotors to me, need to check the mechanics before blindly replacing the rotors IMHO.

comment Honda Accord bubbling / gurgling sound when braking first few times
If that was trapped air, I would assume it went away after gurgling stops. Perhaps there's an air leak inside?

comment Uneven rotation sounds when my car gets to 50-60 MPH
Another possible reason could be carwash. If rims were not properly washed the dirt/mud could have remained on the inner side and caused said disbalance.

comment Is every BMW service, always needed?
What seems to be the problem, you want to ask to check brake pads or you want to go to non-BMW shop to do only things you need and do it cheaper?

comment When cranking an engine between 15 second intervals is ok?
Usually you can (need or must depending on country) put a special sign on your car to let other drivers know you are a newbie. Knowing that newbies often have problems on slopes the sign will tell others to to leave more space in case you rollback a little and also that they should be more forgiving to mistakes they once did themselves time ago.
