My bet is the dealer when detailing it swirled it up. That black paint seems pretty soft and prone to scratch and shows defects really easy. That can be corrected easily. I'd def ppf that entire front bumper including the black areas. That area will take all the rock chip hits. You probably don't need to worry about polishing those defects out as the ppf should hide them. You'll need to polish it anyway when/if the ppf is removed. If not too late your ppf installer can take a small piece of film and install it over the most obvious defect and see if it hides it. I'd bet it does. I wouldn't sweat it. What I'm sweating is why are they removing all those parts? They should be using a plotter with pre cut film. That's very invasive so I assume they are doing a "bulk" install? That would scare me because they will be using a razor blade next to your paint.
