I have Hydro Silex Recharge to use on my Ceramic Pro, and you should certainly clay first to remove stuck-on particles. I did that in one area and the hydro sylex just beaded off and I had to catch it from running away to apply it. Didn't do any more, I have 6 layers of CP so I'll look again some years down the line.
I have no experience of it over a plastic coating like Xpel etc so I don't know how that soft surface underneath the CP would effect things.
I use carpro reload over my ceramic coated xpel about every 5 or so washes. It looks like glass after every wash but I just can’t help it. I’ve tried Gyeon Cure and a few others but Reload is best IMO. Never tried to Xpel brand but only one way to find out
I’m addicted to CarPro Reload as a sacrificial layer over my CQuartz Pro. Do it every month (2-3 washes). I know it’s overkill, but love to slickness and shine
Try some Bead Maker as a topper for your ceramic coating and PPF. It creates the slickest surface of any any product I have ever tried. And I have tried A LOT of different products. It's inexpensive and available on Amazon.

Not having ceramic, I've always thought you were supposed to use a booster from the beginning to maintain it. Probably just marketing talking!
I can't speak to Xpel Ceramic Boost, but I've seen CarPro Reload mentioned over and over again here.

The XPEL Ceramic Boost is very similar to the products mentioned, Bead Maker, CarPro Reload, Hydro Silex Recharge, Adams Ceramic Boost 2.0, etc.
It is manufactured to pair extremely well with paint protection film (any brand) and also work wonders on bare paint and ceramic coated paint.
You guys are talking me into this. Says can be applied when wet or dry.
My suggestion is to wash and dry the car, then spray a generous amount of BM on one section at a time (front end, glass, roof, doors one side, then the other, then rear). Spread around with one micro fiber towel, then buff with a dry towel. It will cure over about 8 hours. Slickness and shine left behind I have not seen matched by another product.
After the initial generous application, just spray some on and wipe off after a few washes. As I said, it's not an expensive product. Very low risk to give it try. But don't take my word for it - look for YT videos by Obsessed Garage, Pan the Organizer, and others that rave about it.

Thanks. I have a line on the Xpel and will be trying this when I get it. Apparently it sold out everywhere immediately upon release.
