I would wait at least 30 days before messing with it. This will make sure all the solvents are finally out of the paint before you put any type of wax or other chemical on it. It will also make sure it sands well if you do that, since solvents still in the paint tend to make it "gummy" and clog up the sand paper.
You may also find any orange peel you may have will go away once the paint fully cures and it will look even smoother.

Was this a single stage enamel? I am assuming it was. If it was, and you used a catalyst, give it 3-4 days to a week. If you didn't use a catalyst, like Franklin2 said, give it 30 days before wet sanding with 2000 and then buffing.
