They told me they will clay bar it and quick detail it but that it should ideally come in clean.

Also, what areas do people usually have done?

So far I plan to have the following covered:
-Full Hood
-Front bumper
-Front Fenders
-Headlights
-Rear trunk deck sill (area that might get scratched putting stuff in and out of the car)
-B-pillars (gloss black trim that people touch when closing the doors)
-Mirrors
-Door handle pockets

Options:
-Door edges (I do not want to see a seam though)
-Rocker panels/side skirts
-Door sills
-Vertical portion of trunk lid where people might grab to close the trunk

What are peoples thoughts on the optional areas?

Thanks for the help!
how did it go? did you end up doing your optional areas? how much did it cost?
