First time having PPF on a car, is this "to be expected"?

[SylvainG]

So I had Ultimate Plus XPel installed on the whole front end, the lenght of the pillars, mirrors, rocker panels and the top of the back bumber where the trunk is last week. Today was the first time washing it since then and found these 'anomalies'. Before I go complain, is it something to be expected when a film is installed? He mentioned when I went to get the car back that it's normal that there are small bubbles that will resolve with time and if not, in a few weeks they'll use a syringe to remove the water. Also said it's to be expected to have small debris and these can't be removed, as peeling the film to reach them will make the issue worst. This is what I found while washing the car :

What's your take on this?

Thanks.

Air bubbles are never a good thing ofcourse, and yes some small bubbles can fade away. Debris under ppf is just a sloppy job from my opinion

leave your car in the sun - sometimes that helps. I have a few similar ones under my PPF , I guess its tough to keep debris out of these large pieces

Sorry to say that but this is sloppy install. It’s rather easy to fix though unless there is debris which makes it a bit more difficult.
There are two approaches if this doesn’t go away on its own in a few days under the sun:
1. Make tiny punctures at these spots and squeegee out the water through them.
2. Lift up the PPF in this area and re-apply. In this process you will most likely stretch it so you will need a heat gun to shrink it back. And soapy solution for under the PPF when re-applying.

I have a follow up appointment with them in a few weeks. I'll see how it goes.
