I wanted to get some other opinions on the PPF job I had done and find out if I'm being unreasonable. It's a full wrap of a brand new Raptor that was done 3 months ago using Suntek Ultra. I took it in for a tune up a couple of weeks ago to have some issues fixed. The guy fixed some major bubbling and lifting problems, but there are still what I consider to be an excessive amount of defects in the film. When I picked it up he kept telling me "it's not going to be perfect", but there's imperfect and then there's just unacceptable.
The main problem is the dirt particles under the film that are causing bubbles. I have tried pressing on some of them but I think the particles are just too big to ever let the film lay down over them. Even if they did, the dirt is still there. I posted some photos below. Except for the lines on the hood, all of the white spots you see are bubbles caused by dirt under the film. This is just a small sampling- every single panel except the mirrors has multiple bubbles.
I understand that there will always be flaws if you really look, and there are plenty of other flaws I can see (like stretch marks, waviness, cut lines that could be straighter, etc) that I'm not going to make a big deal about, but bubbles are way too obvious. My position is that there should be zero bubbles in the film. Do you think I'm being unreasonable about this?

Thanks for everyone's comments. It is a full wrap and I paid $3500. I realize that is towards the lower end on pricing for a wrap, but not exactly bargain basement or anything. He did use Suntek which I know is less expensive material than Xpel.
