Hmm why polish it right away? I mean what i have experianced is leave the car for 3 or 4 days and than polish it. This way painter will have to work hard as the paint will be dried and hard but you will be amazed by shine :p...
BTW ITs gr8 you managed dash board and side trims i am sure they must be very expensive.
I remember i bought my 88 door trims and they were for 14 thousand and he was giving me indus shape corolla's side trims, motors, side mirros and every thing for 7k
now you can imagine how expensive parts of 88 are and 86 they are two or three times more.
