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.
Yes I have a DA polisher machine 6 speed. Black, yellow and orange pads.

Re: Sanded off clear coat
Do you have anything other than TW compound and Chem Guys AIO?
I'm with Glen thinking you haven't run it down to the base color coat layer with 3000 unless you wetsanded for a loooong time. I'm thinking you're looking at the cloudiness created by sanding the clear layer.
I'd be cranking that DA up to 6 and work your AIO with an orange pad and with slow machine movement speed work and work that cloudy spot.
Now, Menzerna 400, Griots Fast Correcting or Sonax CutMax might work better. You can finish it with CG AIO.

Also, who's yellow pads? Lake Country or Rupes? Big difference in firmness and cut potential

I wet sanded for maybe 20 to 30 , 40 minutes tops. The water I used had some dish soap mixed with it.

Re: Sanded off clear coat
You sanded one spot for 20-40 minutes? If I sand and area for more than 10 seconds I get nervous

Re: Sanded off clear coat
Here's the best of the two pictures you posted.
Two things,
1: You either have not removed your sanding marks and that's why the area looks dull or still sanded.
2: You have sanded and also buffed through the clearcoat and when you do this - the basecoat is dull.
Let's hope you're still in the range of #1
You need a compound and cutting pad. Cutting pad can be foam or fiber.

Re: Sanded off clear coat
And if you’re pulling color onto your pad, stop as that means you’re into the base color.
