Difficulty Compounding wetsand marks

Hi all, looking for some advice.

I found a long scratch on my cars hood, not very deep at all, but noticeable and ugly.

I wetsanded the mark down with 2000 grit which got rid of it.

Then used a DAS6-PRO, foam cutting pad and Menzerna 400 to compound the dull marks away and shine it up in prep for finishing compounds etc, this worked well however, its super shiny even with 400, however getting down close you can still see the wet sand cross hatching.

I then purchased 3000 grit and rubbed it down.

Then went over it a few more times and possibly improved it a bit.

Then purchased a microfiber cutting pad and used the 400 compound again, but its still there.

What are your opinions?

Should i leave it alone and call it a day, its impossible to see unless your head is less than a foot away, or should i just keep going?

The pads and compound dont seem to be cutting much away at all.

Here is what it looks like now
