Topped off a cream colored car with Collinite 845. Knew I had put too much product on when I felt the resistance in wiping/buffing off. The next night, under incandescent light, at just the right angle, I can see the path of my application. It's like I didn't buff it all the way off. Hand rubbing/buffing doesn't remove it. This only shows up at night under the lights. Should I try buffing with the PC with dry gray pad? Or with bonnet, or what?

Try some QD and wipe it down.

I hate collinite for this reason. It always did this to me and the only thing that would take it off was something with a cleaner. Last time I just threw some DG #105 on a finishing pad and did the whole car at speed 3 or 4. Came right off.
Nothing else would budge it, I washed it 3 times and it was still hanging on.

If a QD doesn't do it try a thin application of 845. Often the solvents in 845 will do the trick for getting off residue like that:

Try a small area first, and remember if you use a cleaner you'll basically remove all your protection.

Yeah easiest thing to do is rewax, those hard to remove trails are kinda proof how durable the wax is, if you can't buff it off (even on glass I tried and even windex can't remove overapplied trails on glass, at least not without lotso' effort) it's got to be durable.
