Does it affect the cure time?

We recently purchased a new SUV for my wife. As soon as I brought it home I washed it using the recommended Adams procedures. I used the Strip Wash using the foam cannon. I did the entire car, then took a sponge to each panel. It was a hot day out and the car was in direct sun. I worked quickly After rinsing the vehicle and getting to applying detail spray and glass cleaner I started to notice residue that was very hard to get off, even with AP. It almost looked like streaks of sap. It was most noticeable on the glass. It eventually came off completely after a few washes. I'm worried to use it again on another new vehicle that I'm planning to prep for a ceramic coating. Is it possible that the strip wash dried on the vehicle can caused that residue? It was most noticeable on the windows, but the car as a darker silver (Audi Graphite Gray) so I may not have noticed it elsewhere. The new car will be black. Anyone else experience this?

I'm planning on applying the ceramic paint coating as soon as I take delivery of my new car. I live in Georgia and it can be pretty humid here sometimes. I plan on doing the process in our detached garage and wanted to know if there is an ideal humidity level? I'm going to avoid doing it with any possibility of rain during the curing process. I may also use a dehumidifier to reduce the humidity while it cures.

Since this can be used on headlights, can the same be said about tail lights and reflector bits?
