Looks great Zach. 
A good cut and buff makes a job in my opinion. Looks great

That polisher only makes it look fantastic because of the painstaking time you put fourth prepping the panels for paint. That roof is absolutely stunning.
Speaking for myself as a beginner painter, the skill set required for each step of the painting process is humbling experience to say the least.

Is there a limited time frame to cut and buff for Single Stage ?

Kind of but not really. It will get harder to buff as it cures out. 24 hours after application is the ideal time but rarely will that correspond to when you are ready to buff. At least for me. If you take it out to min 3000 Trizact or 2500 Buflex then it will buff fairly easy even a few weeks later, provided you are using a good compound and a wool pad.
ive cut and buffed it after 6 months sands and buffs fine. i like to let my clear cure out for a long time. and alot of sun time. if i have the time ill let it sit a month, put in sun. and bake iwth my infared lamp then cut it open put in sun and bake some more. then work my way up in grits. get all the solvent out you can wont have to worry about any scratch swelling that way either or it shrinking down on you some after its all done. this is a job with like 5 or 6 coats though. if it was standard 2 to 3 coats probably not as much of an issue
