Default Getting car detailed this week - suggestions?

Hey guys, I'm having someone come out and etail my car on Thursday this week (I normally do this myself, but this is my first black car and I want to lay day a good foundation for detailing going forward). I have some micro-scratches that I'm going to have him correct, as well as a couple of chips that he is going to touch-up. My question is, is there anything I should tell him to do or not to do when detailing the Z? Especially considering it's magnetic black? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you're having a pro come out, in which case, I'm sure he knows exactly what he needs to do.
