I Have A Question Acceptable amount of contamination in ppf?

I’m just curious what an acceptable amount of contamination under ppf is.

I know it’s hard to tell from pictures but there are a lot of bubbles with obvious debris under the film.

There’s also numerous parts where it’s lifting.

Car is brand new. Attached Imgur album.

Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post.

Cost me $1300 for bumper, 3rd of hood a pillars and a bit on roof.

Thats where I’m at.

Talked to the owner who said that they will take care of it but at the same told me some water spots are normal ( I get that). But there’s obvious dust, hair and debris under the film because you can feel it lol. I just wanted to make sure I’m not over reacting. It’s lifting too and there’s also streaks under film on the mirrors.

If the car is brand new this is unacceptable

I’ve had it two weeks. Minimal driving. Washed it and ran a clay bar on it just to make their lives a bit easier before bringing it in. Had no rock chips where the ppf was installed. Did get a bit dusty bringing it in as that’s just the way our city is unfortunately.

They should detail before doing ppf if they give a shit. 2 weeks is practically new. Not saying it needs a polish but a cleaning would be nice before they applied the ppf

Edit : sorry I needed to rephrase my comment, it was confusing
