As for craters I dont really know what they are called, but it looks like rain water droplets that have oxidised or something and left an imprint.

I think I'll borrow my mates buffer, and check out your buffing vids again.

Not really confident.

The marks in the paint are called water etch marks, and unfortunately you cannot always remove them 100%. Can be 10-95% once you machine correct the paintwork but its always hard to say how much you will remove.

Ensure you using a Dual Action Random Orbital so you cannot harm/burn the paintwork and take your time. The paint is thinner but you will have no problems for example with the DAS6 doing the work!

Remember to always clay prior to the correction/machine work to remove all contaminants off the paint if you have not done do within the last 8-12 months.
