The microfiber pad I found got hotter quicker than the foam pads and tended to have a bit more of a recoil. I need to use them more but they worked very well. The FG400 has a pretty good working time and for sure started flashing faster with the microfiber pads.
First picture is just after polishing and whipping down with 50/50 water/ISO second is after
Second is 18 hours after it was applied.
Just cell phone pics. it took me like 10 tries to get a beading picture cause it just wanted to roll off

I've found FG400 to have an almost infinite working time... it may be that you were using too much product on the pad. MF pads don't require as much priming as foam pads because they don't soak up the product like a foam one might.
MF pads do get warm, and this often causes delamination. I would suggest switching pads after each panel to give them time to cool... I typically use 2 MF pads per car, cleaning them after each section and switching to the other pad after each panel.
Nice pics!

A QD should remove this film. I'd suggest when next sealing the paint, try using less product and do a swipe test with your finger to make sure the product is fully hazed and doesn't smear before removing the excess. Use of several plush mf towels to remove the product might be helpful as well.
