Yuck, those look like pits in the paint. It's not going to come out with any compound or polish available. Probably going to need a respray. Is it Ceramiclear?

Agreed.

Do you have any experience wet sanding OP?

OP, like someone above said, they look like pits.

I recently had a body kit put onto my car, and the body shop I took it to did a terrible job on the paint and it ended up exactly like yours, with pits and bubbles. I took my car and went to another body shop, the one I should have gone to to begin with but in the interest of saving a buck or two (my bad) I didn't. So anyway, I asked the new bodyshop to see if they could wet sand those spots away. They tried but were unable to. In the end they had to basically repaint all the panels that were damaged. Anyway, I don't think wetsanding will fix that, you may need a respray.
