Fisheyes are caused by contamination in air lines, tools, origional finish (top reason) or in the material. Best way is to prevent it,by cleaning the substrate well with a fast dry prep-sol. Sorry to tell you if the mil thickness isn't sufficent to cut and buff(it usually isn't b/c of depth of the crater) the only option is to refinish. You should follow the manufactures directions (tech sheet) for the paint your using regarding fish eye eliminator additive, and use it only if you need to.

wet sand the area in question, buff, then wax.

2000 grit and a buffing wheel will help..work slowly and carefully
