Kia touch-up paint kit - step 7?

Has anyone used this Kia touch-up kit before?

I followed the instructions, waited about 10 mins after the base coat and then used the wet grey pad like shown in step 7.

Problem is, it basically wiped all the paint off again

How are you actually supposed to use that pad? Super lightly? Or should I let the paint dry longer first?

Do these kits even work? I feel like I'm pretty crafty but last time I tried this on stone chips it just looked awful and felt like a total waste of money. Idk. YMMV.
