I've coated ~6 of our vehicles over the years; like moonluv86 says, the secret (time, effort, reward) is in the prep work. Besides the aforementioned steps, use a product like CarPro Eraser to remove all residual waxes and oils just before applying the ceramic coating. A good LED light to inspect your coated panel will further help avoid high spots, before moving on to the next panel.

I also apply a 'sacrificial' layer over the ceramic coats (CQuartz Lite or a paint sealant) just for added measure of protection. That way, if I have to buff light surface scratches weeks/months later, I'm not penetrating into the ceramic coats 'before their time'.
