Want to take my truck to get detailed before selling, what're the odds they mess up the glare stopper that comes factory on the hood for the pros, will their buffer just rip it up?

Ask the detailer of your chosing, he knows his skill set better than us...

if youre concerned, you can tell him to keep the buffer off of it...

If it’s just a flat black decal. There would be zero need for them to buff it.

My worry was that they would rip it off. Alas it is a non issue now as i traded in the truck and didn't need it detailed.... Thank you for the reply!
