The Guz got a reaction from JPunisher in Cilajet and Graphene Advanced Prep
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.

The Guz got a reaction from RoamPT in Maintaining a different brand ceramic coating
Either one is fine. Use what you have. CS3 would be another good option.

The Guz got a reaction from falcaineer in Graphene advance ceramic coating on brand new paint
Best to ask the painter. If not then wait that 30-90 day time frame.

The Guz reacted to Norton in Claying a Graphene Coated Vehicel
No. As described on their site, Adam's Clay Mitt "is a medium grade clay material." (Emphasis added.)

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.

The Guz got a reaction from falcaineer in Orange peel?
Compounding and polishing will not remove orange peel. Wet sanding will but this is not a task for someone who is starting to learn. There are plenty of videos on new car preps.
It is a good idea to use an iron remover to ensure that there is no fallout on the paint. You can judge from there if you need to clay. The car may be new but how long was it on the lot and also that it was in transit to the lot.
As far as compounding and polishing, do a test spot with the polish and see if the finish is what you want. If it is then no need to compound.

The Guz got a reaction from Dan-GL1800 in How much is enough
Can't see your photos and I am not downloading a zip. But if you can only see the applicator marks using the UV then that is a non-issue. It will go away as the coating cures. Now if you are seeing streaking aka high spots without the light then those need to be addressed.

Can be used on coatings.

The Guz got a reaction from TR6speed in Graphene or UV Ceramic Coating
Yes you can use it over the existing layer. Of course a light polish will net you better results as the coating will bond to bare paint. Completely up to you if you want to just try a strip wash to get the surface as clean as possible.
If you decide on the actual graphene coating, you will be fine with either version. The original one is slightly easier to use as some complain that the advanced one is bit grabby upon removal. I would go with the graphene version over the ceramic. Keep in mind that the graphene coating is still ceramic at its core.

From that photo it looks like that area has been sanded and never finished out. Was that area ever repainted?

The Guz got a reaction from MFed in Graphene Ceramic Spray Coating on Motorcycle Exhaust
This weeks facebook live video covered coating exhaust tips with the actual coating. The spray coating does not have the high temperature resistance as the actual coating but it can be reapplied as often as desired.

The Guz got a reaction from falcaineer in Restoring yellowed white paint
The paint needs a good polishing to restore it back to the original color.

The Guz reacted to Norton in Best polish I have ever found
I agree, that BG is a good product, but it's not a polish.

The Guz got a reaction from bosco1 in Question about removing steps before applying graphene ceramic coating
There is no way to know. The best thing you could do is a test spot and determine what type of finish you would consider is good enough to move onto the coating.

The Guz got a reaction from King Funny Bunny in Did I get a bad batch of Adam's Graphene Coating?
I typically use a towel with a GSM rating of 300-350 when leveling coatings. I don't use those suede type towels or super plush towels. Try this and it should help with leveling. Cycle your wipe off towels every few panels.
Flash times are going to be dependent on temperature and humidity so you will have to figure out that out.
