I have XPEL Ceramic on my Legacy GT, and it has PPF on the hood and all nose similar to a bra, and the headlamps have a tinted PPF. Been on for about 5 years, wash with Chemical Bros products.

I want ceramic on the car, but I want PPF as well. PPF guy works with most of the luxury dealerships in the Cincy area, and he states the Glasscoat is "damn good". But can't put PPF over it. Won't stick.

Dealer is warning "Look, we can't do both. The concern that over time, UV will change what's under the PPF that doesn't have the coating over what has the coating on it is both reasonable and valid".

The dealer has been both honest and not pushy about anything. Best dealer experience in my lifetime.

This car is my last one. I can't physically wash and wax it weekly, and don't want the front eaten up with stone bruises etc. It needs to last me until I'm finished.

So, is there a ceramic coating that PPF sticks to?
Don't do any ceramic coating from the dealer...get your PPF done and then have a ceramic coating applied after. Save your $800 and put it towards the cost of ceramic from your PPF guy or another 3rd party.
