Guys need serious help...T_T

I tried applying some left over "supposing-ly" nano ceramic coating for the car, which I don't think has an expiry date, on top of my poor application skills, I now have streaks of uneven coating on my car hood.

*Prep work is done nicely, so it has nothing to do with impurities.

Noticed and immediately stopped what I was doing. Tried applying second layer aiming to fill gaps between streaks, not working.

What are my options.....car hood looks smudgy ugly streaky and all...T_T...Should not have tried to save some bucks.

Polish it up as soon as possible rather then waiting for it to fully cured.

Can share the picture of the "damage" to your car hood?

I will post up a pic when I can.

Anyway polishing isn't helping. I'm thinking of wet sanding now. Damn.

Wet sanding too abrasive ! Try rubbing compound first.

One of the more obvious ones. No it's not scratches. Just excessive coating crystalisation. Can feel the ridges in between if u run through with ur nails.

UPDATE: Used some metal polish and it has definitely helped say 50% of it. And as expected I now have patches of polished/cloudy and unpolished areas. Whats the best product to go with next for restoration??
