The Guz

Perhaps you did not let set up enough before wiping it off in that temperature.  Also give it a good shake if it has been sitting for some time.  

The product page states 12-18 months.  Most longevity claims use the word up to.  If the vehicle is exposed to harsh elements then expect that durability to be cut almost by 50%.

I was about to say the same thing, lots of factors go into the longevity, might be time to start over.

Sounds like it is time to reapply the spray coating.

Sounds like the backing plate has lost its ability to hold on to the pad.  With an LHR MKII, staying around speed 4 to 4.5 is the sweet spot.  Also not cycling pads or overloading them with product will heat up the pad.  Microfiber pads do generate more heat. 

The UV tracer will fade as the coating cures.  All of your applicator marks under the UV light will also fade away as it cures.  
 
With that said in order to fix a high spot watch this. 
 
 

With current drought conditions across the states and other countries, rinseless washing will become a more regular routine that traditional bucket washing.  It is a perfect solution for those that don't have access to water such as an apartment complex.  
 
It has been years since I used the Adams Rinseless Wash and after using it again it certainly is a good product in comparison to other products on the market.  The only thing that I don't recall is it separating and having this brown look to it.  Not sure what that is about.  
 
Another experiment is using Foam + Wash as a pre-soak and using it with the rinseless wash as sort of a hybrid rinseless wash.

Give the paint a light polish and it will be removed.  

Can not see your photos.  A coating would be the better option to with stand the heat.

@falcaineer if we are speaking about masking the coating, technically those graphene products will also mask the performance of the base layer coating with their own protection.  
 
@MoeD you can use slick & slide on any coating.  B&B blending sells this as slip stream among other names which contains SiO2 which is a common ingredient in ceramic coatings.  

Sure you can.

No it will not.  It is a non-abrasive product and the pH is well within the coatings pH range.  Abrasion will remove the coating.  
 
It will eventually mask the coating if it is used often, meaning you are seeing the hydrophobic behavior of CS3 and not the base layer coating.

The spray coating will have to be removed so the true coating can bond to the bare painted surface.

It could be a high spot.  Some of those pictures look like it is the beginning signs of clear coat failure.  The second photo sure looks like it.  

Yes
 
 
Yes. 

It won't strip ceramic.  From my experience it does not strip a wax or sealant unless it is very old.  

I have never once clayed a coating and had no need to clay.  Adams seems to be the only one to recommend it.  There is always that risk of marring especially on soft paints.  
 
A chemical decon and 3 pH wash always works for me to keep a coating performing strong.

Take a look at the maintenance section of this post.  
 
 

You could apply the coating over PPF without any issues. It will increase the hydrophobics and make the PPF even easier to clean.  With regards to the dealer applied product, you could try a strip wash and see if that removes it.  If it were me I would go around the car with a polish and then proceed to the coating.  You will not be removing that much clear doing this.  

It is not guaranteed the strip wash and panel wipe will remove the dealer applied product.  But there is no requirement to polish before applying a coating.  It is also not hard to polish.  Go with what works for you.  Also are you using the spray coating or the actual coating?
