How bad are the runs? Can you sand and buff? They make a file for knocking down 90% of the runs before you sand with 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit and buff. I have seen people use easy sanding bondo and apply over run. sand aggressive until bondo is almost gone then switch to 1200 grit sandpaper.
I would wait 48 - 72 hours unless you used snap dry.

Thought this was a cool tip when I saw it.

sometimes you can sand out a run without re-clearing. just keep working at it until the wave is gone, if you sand or rub through block it out and re-clear.

Razor blade or small file, then sand and buff. That spot putty trick works very well also.
