I'm completely new to ceramic coating and have some questions. I applied Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating and everything appeared to be going great. After I coated the car and took a closer look I noticed at certain angles, when the pearl paint turned into a darker shade, I could see almost every vertical pass I made with the suede applicator. After searching on here I took some Adam's Polish and gently rubbed it on the paint and it appeared to get rid of these streaks.
My questions are:
1. Is it normal for ceramic coatings passes to appear in certain light/angles?
2. Was it because I let the coating dry too long? I only had 60-90 seconds before the iridescent/rainbow effect was gone.
3. While applying the coating I did cross hatching motions and overlapped 1/4-1/2" each time. Was this not enough overlapping?
4. While cross hatching I would add more coating to the applicator pad. Is this the correct procedure?
5. Any other ideas how to prevent this from happening again?
Attached are a few pictures with the UV light. The camera had a difficult time but hopefully this can help assess what I did wrong.
