Re: Sanded off clear coat
Have you tried a more aggressive polish? Post pics?
Re: Sanded off clear coat
If the dull spot(s) are simply remaining sand scratches that you have not completely polished out yet, then additional polishing may be the answer.
OTOH, if you have actually gone through the clear coat and exposed the basecoat, you are SOL. Repainting the panel is the only fix in this case.
At this point you really have nothing to lose, so I would continue polishing. You might get lucky.

I doubt you went through with 3000. You have standing scratches. They only really come out with a very strong orbital that’s firced rotation or a rotary. Rather than screwing around with it and trying different things, and spending money for product left over, run it down to the body shop , they can clear it up in about five minutes.
you can also try about 100 strokes with a towel and some Maguires 105.

Yup, more aggressive product or pad (or both). I've yet to meet an AIO that can tackle sanding scratches.
What is the "polish" you have? I've not used Turtle Wax Compound but i'd be leaning towards something between that AIO and the TW Compound...on the DA and orange pads.
Also, who's yellow pads? Lake Country or Rupes? Big difference in firmness and cut potential

He mentioned that he did at the bottom of his post.
I'd try the yellow or orange pads with something like Griot's Fast Correcting Cream.
