My car overheated and my daughter put in the peak 50/50 pre-diluted antifreeze coolant Global lifetime. I'm not sure if that's the correct one but do I have to flush it out or could I just add to it?

You should be okay; can I ask if you fixed the problem of overheating? Did the radiator fans come on or was the thermostat stuck? These guides can help:
