The process is really dependent on getting the pads/rotors up to the transfer temperature to evenly coat the rotors (that's why the procedures may be different for different pad types). I've had to do the procedure twice in some cases to get even transfer to occur. You should end up with a distinct blue sheen on your rotors after the process. This is fine and will go way in a few days. This is a sign that you got the brakes up to proper temp.

Not getting them hot enough will cause uneven transfer = vibration.

You can also have the rotors re-finished which could help start over. You bed in brakes because it really improves braking performance.
