Default Damn I just made my paint worse with polish.

Ok there is a small scuff on my car. I went to the auto store and bought some turtle wax polishing compound. I did just as the directions intended. I wet the microfiber applicator pad and rub a portion of it into the compound. I gently tried to rub out the scuff but for it to come off I had to apply a moderate amount of pressure. It came off within a few minutes. I looked great. I then dried the area with a seperate microfiber rag only to see a very noticeable amount of hazy scratches where I polished the scuff out. It looks just as bad. What did I do wrong here?
