Recently had PPF re-applied on some areas. I also had the shop do a polish and ceramic coat. After inspecting the following 2 days my main concerns were
-streaking on PPF which appears from ceramic coat not being buffed enough
-polish under edges of PPF
-bad cuts/underexposed areas (not too many, most edges look great)
-leading edges of front doors not wrapped but trailing edges are. Both edges on rear doors are wrapped/tucked

Showing pictures below to get thoughts from others.

Of course there are only a few small areas where something was caught under the PPF but most near edges. I know it’s hard to keep the the area for applying super clean so no big concerns there.

streaking
(taking it soon, after notifying the shop)

You can see a good example of PPF application on the trailing edge of this door. Tucked and clean!

Polish under PPF
Polish under some areas, mostly near edges. Not too many spots but I would have expected a more thorough cleaning before applying PPF where it would be permanently stuck under

Rough cuts
One of the areas where the cuts just look really bad. First photo is the opposite side that looks better, second photo shows a not clean cut

above is the better side. Still, more exposed than the door panel as is shown

Here is opposite side where both bottom and left edge look rough, if anything the left side near bottom looks like it was torn rather than
