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.

That's no reason to be scared. There's no right or wrong way to install PPF. I've been present while hundreds of cars have had had "bulk" installations by a skilled installer and there's never an issue. Razor never touches paint when done right. Not to mention there's not always plotting diagrams for small trim pieces etc. so sometimes bulk installation is the only option.
