Can I do a ceramic coating if the paint already has a Luxcare coating on it?

When I picked up my Z4 the dealer had already done a Luxcare treatment on the paint and the interior. I was planning on doing a ceramic coating but I had no choice but accept the car with Luxcare because of the shortage of inventory and I didn’t want to wait for a new build from Austria.

I understand that Luxcare is all hype and one of those dealer finishes that is not worth doing. However they state on the Luxcare website:

“LuxcareXT penetrates the vehicle’s clear coat to protect against weather-induced fading caused by road salt, UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings and other grime. It also helps prevent brake dust staining on aluminum alloy wheels, the dulling of headlight lenses and small windshield cracks.”


If Luxcare interacts with the clear coat can I also add a ceramic coating?

Can they strip the Luxcare from the paint without damaging the clear coat?

Do I have to simply have to live with the Luxcare which I believe is an inferior product?
