Can this be fixed?
So im trying to figure out whats causing this, I did a little wetsanding with 3,000 grit then I buffed everything out then I went over it with a clay bar with polishing compound after I finished with some nu finish. Now it looks like this?

Re: Can this be fixed?
I'm not sure exactly what it is you want to "fix". Are you referring to the dull, swirled appearance? You'd better give us a little more detail about how you sanded (did you just use your hand, a block, a flexible block?), what you "buffed" with (machine or hand, "buffing" compound, applicator/pad), what polish you used (same questions as for "buffing"), what kind of clay and what kind of lube was used with it, and whether you have ever done anything like this before.

Re: Can this be fixed?
I used 3M with a motor buffer and a microfiber pad, I just bought a sheet of sandpaper and sanded. Then I went over it with a clay bar with tutrtle polishing compound then I applied nu finish.

I don't think you really knew how to properly approach the car...
What was the need for wetsand? And why Nu Finish?

Re: Can this be fixed?
"I used 3M with a motor buffer and a microfiber pad," You used 3M what?. Meaning, what 3M product did you use. What "motor buffer" did you use? Was it rotary or dual action?
"I just bought a sheet of sandpaper and sanded." From this statement I conclude you used your hands/fingertips for sanding rather than use a sanding block. Not good since using your hand/fingertips to not apply even pressure as you sand.
"Then I went over it with a clay bar with turtle polishing compound" From this I conclude you used the turtle polishing compound as a lubricant for the clay bar. This is not a correct method. Clay polishing is a separate step and done with a proper lubricating spray. This process is usually followed by compounding/polishing either by hand or using a rotary or dual action polisher.
"then I applied nu finish" This is probably the only step you did correctly.
Now, as to your question "Can this be fixed?" Yes it can. Anything can be fixed with proper technique and sometimes enough money put into the process. It is hard to tell from your pix just what damage you may have inflicted on your vehicle's paint. The fix for your vehicle may be as simple as a thorough wash to remove the NuFinish and and possibly clay residue left behind from your clay bar with turtle polishing compound process. Follow this cleaning process with proper polishing, either by hand or by machine, then reapply NuFinish. There is also the possibility you have done major damage to your vehicle's paint from wet sanding that repainting may be required.

Re: Can this be fixed?
1. define motor buffer
2. Define scratched up (swirls?)
3. which microfiber pad?
4. what speed, how many section passes?
So that you know, you have to wash the car, THEN clay it..then you can polish the car..Seems like you did it backwards.
