Are these the signs a of proper coating?

I got the scoop from the detail shop.

They did paint correction before applying this RG Masterpiece Glass coating(see picture) last month. I believe it was not applied using the proper technique or that coating does not bead very well.

They stripped the old coating off the car today and applied the Hyper Coat Pro by Dupont(see picture). The car looks to have more of a glossy shine this time and the shine from the carbon fiber roof sticks out very much. I will let the car sit for the night and in a few days test out the check out the water beading.

Glad to hear that they took care of you. The most important part of coating is prep, which includes making sure you removed all the polishing oil. I personally do 2 Erasor wipedowns and depending on the compound I used I may even follow up with a 15% IPA wipedown for good measure. I use a LOT of MF in the process but the cost of product (Erasor, IPA, detergent) greatly outweigh having to polish a failed coating off and reapply :dblthumb2:
 
If the weather in your area is on the cooler side, I'd wait as long as you can before purposefully getting it wet.
