On a brand new vehicle, most definitely get PPF as that protects from rocks, and debris from day one. Paint correction will correct flaws in the clear coat, by compounding and polishing it. Ceramic coating applies an invisible protective layer that enhances gloss, repels water and contaminants (Bird Shit, Tree Sap), and simplifies maintenance.

I just had my 17 yr old Mercedes E63 AMG, paint corrected last Wednesday and it looks amazing, and I'm taking it to get ceramic coating on Monday. So, it is never too late to get these procedures down. But once your get your first rock chip in fresh paint, it's over. And that is why it's important to protect your paint from the beginning. My AMG has always had PPF from day one.

I just had my bumper resprayed on my F85 X5M, as it had many rock chips, and after the paint cures, the front is getting wrapped in PPF and the whole vehicle is getting paint corrected and ceramic coated. And after my AMG is done, the F80 M3 goes in for it paint correction and ceramic coating, it already has PPF. A big expense, I know but well worth it to protect the paint and overall look of my vehicles.
