As detailing hobbyist, mine has never seen such fading as my paint is always protected.
IMO, a better & safer (for the paint) way to do such restoration is to use a compound if there are deep scratches, then polish to recondition the paint to bring back the deep gloss & remove fine scratches, then seal/protect using either wax or sealant. If you notice that paint transfer, it means that your clear coat is gone. It seems like you've started with a very strong abrasive at 1k grit then moved to 3k. Compounding could've removed the scratches in most cases without hurting the clearcoat
