Help!!!!!!

okay ive seen all the pros and cons of polishing and such thought id give it a try .I went to my unlocal hobby shop and brought d/m 9040 set of micro-mesh and polishing abrasives...im building a dtm warsteiner..painted it pretty good..lil dust and such so i used 4000 grit and sanded whole car..repainted... decent job..took hood/bonnet and used tamiyas fine polish....saw p-mans how to..didnt press hard at all and it seemed to leave lil scatches and whorls..what id do wrong?..im really perplexed? should i continue to polish wont it get worse?.im a laid off chrysler worker who used to work in the paint shop of the jeep grand cherokee plant..we used to sand any imperfection in paint then repaint(sometimes 2-3 times)..used air-jets to blow the sanded particles away..was i supposed to repaint or keep working up thru grits when i sanded with the 4000grit?..i had no-air so i wet then let dry b4 repaint..im trying to achieve a mirror like sheen/shine?. and it just seems really hard.......http://s715.photobucket.com/albums/ww151/guiwee/
