when is it safe to polish for diff paint types

When is it safe to start using cutting compound followed by wax.
Ive seen different answers from diff ppl ranging from 3 days to 2months.
Ive got hasty and started compounding one of my models in 4 days after final coat, and unfortunetly it pretty much screwed it up...it was automotive spray paint and it was already glossy without polishing..but i wanted it to be mirror like...and damn...it made it flat along with stickiness....and now all these dust is on it...
some one kindly give me a rough number of days for these paints b4 polishing:
Tamiya enamels, automotive spray cans, tamiya sprays
