It looks like you did not wait long enough for your paint to cure, you should have waited at least 7 days if the temperature average was 70 degrees.

What grit to you use ? I use 1500 to 2000 and very very wet. If after doing so to get the paint level you see a difference between new and old you will never buff it out so that the end result is invisible.

To buff it out you need to work your way from cutting compound to fine swirl remover. I have always done it by hand, never by machine. It is much too easy to cut through the OEM paint.
