what grit are you using?

Wet sanding is to smoothe out the clear, eliminate orange peel, and minor imperfections, you are sanding the clear which turns it white, dull and milky, then you need to Compound, and high speed buff it to make it shinny again, and do not get one of those from wallmart it will not work, it dosent spin fast enough.
