Trouble finishing g10

I have gotten some blue g10 from a friend and made a handle for a small blade. I am having an awful time getting a decent finish on it. I hand sanded the rear half of the handle with 120, 220,320,400 and 600 grit for about 1.5 hours. I then wet sanded it with 320-600 for another 45 min and it just doesnt look right at all. Its not exactly the fact that it has dimples but the fact that it makes a striped pattern horizontally on one side and diagonally on the opposite.
Here are a few pics.
