If people can't get good finishes with acrylic, then they aren't doing things right! Give it at least a week before you buff it, if you can, 2 weeks - 1 month. That way you know it's hardened up nicely. I got a bit of orange peel on the first car I sprayed, that was due to not having enough thinners in the clear, it still rubs and buffs out, but takes a lot more work to do so.
