wet-sanding creates dull surface

It has dried in 48 hours and when I started to wet-sand it (using 400,600,800 and 1200) the surface is really dull. Do you know why this is: Is it poor sanding (I actually tested with only 1200 and it is still dull)? or has the resin not hardened yet? As soon as I put water on the surface it is nice and shiny again, but when the water has dried, the dullness comes back.

Do you think this will go away when I clear-coat it? Or have I done something wrong? Attachments IMG_1939.JPG (688 views, 1.00 MB)
