wet sanding BOO BOO

OK, so I'm a rookie at his but learning fast. Had two small pin head size white chip marks on the hood of my black stratus. Used touch up paint to fill. All very neat so far. I then wet sanded them using 2000 grit wet and dry (wet of course). Not very agressive and not for long. My mistake was that I tried just sanding just the chips so it was sanded in two areas about the size of a dime. Buffed up using rubbing compounds - heavy, medium and light and finished up with swirl remover. Looked really good, nice and glossy.

The Problem: in the light now you can see two slight dimples in the hood.

Question: should I wet sand them again but over a large area (using a sanding block) to try and smooth out the dimples. Never went below the clear coat so still lots of paint left - I hope)

Thanks
