I dropped my car off today at my good buddies shop to get xpel ultimate plus clear film coating on the entire front end and hood, mirrors and lower rockers along sides. It will then get the GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra Ceramic coating. I removed the front hood vents to allow the clear film to wrap into the underside of the vent areas.

I purchased car minutes after it was delivered to dealership and did not allow the dealership to wash or prep car so it will only require a full one step paint correction on entire car with a 2 step on a few areas. I will post the pics of the before and after once it is finished.

Dont forget the glossy black trim at the bottom of the A pillar and B pillars! Those scratch easily and almost impossible to correct.
 
Yes those are being covered in film also.

My detailer buddy just sent me these two pics showing a different color trim above the doors on my car. That’s a bummer I gotta deal with the dealership about?

That’s bizzare! Could it be protective film or something?

Yes, as @Robs mentioned, check for a film over the trim. That's probably all it is. Some dealers don't remove it before the sale...

I gotta wait a couple days to pick her up due to the poor weather right now. But I’m excited my guy is the best when it comes to high end detail work.
