Need painting help

I'm close to being done painting my bike. I've done the colour coat, and am ready for the clear coat.
I've seen few threads and blogs about painting bikes, few of them speak about doing a quick and fine sanding job before applying the clear coat. I've done this but now my frame has a slightly dusty look to it. I've gone over the entire frame with a dry rag and then a rag soaked with bit of terpantine to get rid of oil residues and all that. There is no dust on it whatsoever!
My question is, am I good to put the clear coat on, or is the dusty appearance going to be visible even after the clear coat? My dad who's painted stuff here and there says the dusty appearance is gonna be visible through the final coat.

Any painters in here know if I'm still good or if I've gone and screwed up all my hard work?
