Most body shops let them go overnight, before sanding and buffing. It is much easier to do it that soon. After a few days the paints get pretty hard and are more work to do it.
I usually wait a month (!!!!) before sanding and buffing, and I take my time, usually do an 800 or 1000 cust and wait a few days before going onto 1500, then 200 if the color is dark. It IS more time and more work, but I don't get the dulling and sandscratches ccoming back that you get if you do it sooner.
