My opinion:

Tamiya enamels: I never polish enamels.They don't seem to respond too well when ever I have tried and I end up destroying the finish.But I don't use them for body parts anymore because of this.

Automotive Spraycans: I would leave them at least a week,but it depends on the type of paint and the brand so experiment.

Tamiya Sprays: I've done them after 2-3 days,but usually I leave them a week.

These are just my ideas.I'm sure others will agree/disagree.So experiment a little yourself and see what works best for you.
