Concern on a new boat would be "cured paint". Many paints UNLESS cured by UV light treatment (which requires a specific paint/clear), are not fully cured until 90 days. You can't apply any permanent type of coating until after they are cured.
Mark, don't do anything until you confirm your paint is fully cured by talking to the painter about what materials were used.

All right, you win, I’m sold. I have a gallon of Bead Maker arriving tomorrow. No ceramic, but most of my stuff has UPGP on it. Am I using the Bead Maker as a topper or IPA’ing and using it as a stand-alone? One of my cars is single stage paint. Any special instructions for that application?

I just ordered the HydroSilex yesterday.
Going to use it on the Cig, as well as the Donzi that I just hit with Maguire's Oxidation Remover yesterday. Curious the results......

I hope you have better success with Hydrosilex than I did. After my experience, I would say the only thing it has going for it, is good marketing. I compounded and got everything looking good, washed with Dawn. Gave it an IPA solution wipe down and applied 1 coat. Went back after 6 or 7 days and applied a 2nd coat. Looked good and surface dirt wiped right off for about 2 weeks, and then fading/oxidation started noticeably returning. I reached out for tech support, which they had been good with prior to purchase, and told them everything I did and asked if it was something with my application. No one got back to me. Tried several more times and spoke with one of the Admin girls who said shed had passed my messages along each time, and she was very disappointment no one was giving me answers. After another weak or so surface dirt/streaking from rain did not wipe off easy any more. Snake Oil in my opinion.
