I did mine after 2 weeks,but I have heard you should wait longer, however the sanding may be harder. I used 1200 grit with a soft pad using plenty of water and a drop of soap.sand until any sign of orange peel is gone. I used 3m micro compound, wash the car with soap and water, then a machine glaze,and finally wax. I used a variable speed polisher at about 1000 rpm. Results were good. Stay away from any edges and don't sand or polish thru the clear.My paint was clear/base.

One other thing Jimm, apply the compond to the paint, use the buffer pad to spread the compond. Polish until compond is gone then add more and polish again. use lambs wool pad (a clean one for glaze) Be cautious until you get the feel, maybe practice on your wife's car. Have fun!
