correct me if i am wrong, but the professional painter i used to acquire this info replied "it is better to wait a least 24 hours", "then lightly wet sand with 800 or 1200"

yes you are right if not 48 hours but if a intercoat clear is used you can sand it down with 1000 to 2000 within a few hours just use constant water flow

By adding soap to your water, it will hellp to prevent the paint dust from balling-up under the sand paper.

weazle,Normally 24hrs is good enough however,on darker colors,48 is better.Your sand scratches will come back after you buff it if you got on it too early,Jim
