Experienced detailers typically stay away from panel edges as these are more apt to lose paint to excessive friction from a buffing wheel. The coating thickness is also thinner at panel edges.
However, since he used a low rpm machine (how low?), the damage could have been minimal.
Did he use a wool or foam bonnet? Wool is more aggressive than foam.
How aggressive was the polishing/rubbing compound(s)? That makes a big difference.
There's a trade off between speed and paint removal.
You might get more informed opinions from the folks in the paint and body forum.
