Ask for and witness paint thickness gauge readings before and after.

This has been a concern of mine from the outset.
When I had issues last year with paintwork etc I am sure all they did was apply heat, use some flatting paper and then polish up. So I wonder what thickness I have on those two pieces? Fuck all I expect.
I wish I hadn't bought into "we're a BMW main dealer" crap and gone to Sira (a reputable body-shop that deals with a fair amount of exotica by all accounts).
How much of a reduction in thickness is acceptable? I'm not a pro-detailer so I wouldn't know how much is ok to loose...
