applied a bit too much ceramic coating

[Nikon201068]

Hello everyone. My first time applying ceramic coating on my car and it was a little too much. It now has that slight rainbow reflection off the paint. Can you recommend how to fix this? Thanks

Sounds you might have some high spots that were not wiped off completely. If the coating has cured for more than 12 hours, then most likely you will need to use a machine polisher to polish off the coating and reapply it.

Here is a helpful article from IGL coatings about how to avoid rainbow-like high spots and what to do if they occur:

If it is not cured, apply some new coating on it to wet the surface and wipe. If it is cured, you need to use dual action polisher to buff it off with polishing compound. You need one for paint correction anyway. Always inspect your car surface under the sun light after you are done. Or go over it with a detailing flash light.

It's cured since it's been several days already. What did you mean by " use dual action polisher" ? Also what polishing compound do you recommend? Thank you
