Maybe whatever you used to buff it messed with the clear... but i wetsanded each layer up until my last coat of red, then left it alone and let it dry, then hit it with the clear and it was perfect. That is weird that the taped part came out blurry. I applied it in light coats. I actually had a slight run in one spot because it was really cold when I painted them and I thought it had enough dry time and it didn't. I applied a bunch of coats though, I figured if this stuff was going to go to waste I might as well clearcoat the hell out of them

What clear did you use?
after you wetsand, you have to polish it out with a compound to bring back the shine. They look awesome in that photo lol. Maybe you didn't clear it enough?
