Waterless wash and rinsless wash are two different things.  The terms are being used interchangably in this thread and it will likely lead to confusion for a newcomer.

If it aint broke dont fix it, I have been using those Mothers brushes for years with no issues.

The IPA wipedown or strip wash serves many purposes after a correction, one of which is to remove polishing oils and dust that may have accumulated during the correction.  But the main purpose it to make sure you have truly removed all defects and not just covered them up.  A post correction inspection of the paint cannot be properly done without stripping the surface again.

Decon (clay)
Paint Correction
Strip Wash or IPA Wipedown
Sealant, then cure
Glaze if you wish
Americana if you wish
 
Everything after the sealant is just for your own personal satisfaction.
 
To maintain, do weekly rinseless washes or traditional washes and reapply your LSP as needed (once a month or so).

I would not do either and here is why:
 
The glaze will be gone after the first few hours in the hot sun or the first rain so your not gaining anything long term.  It will also cause the sealant or wax to degrade prematurely.  IMO glaze should only be used for car shows, photo sessions, or special occasions when you just want a little extra pop.  Putting it underneath a sealant or wax is counter-productive.
 
If your just doing it for a show, pop on some glaze and a nice carnuba wax and be done for the day but as part of your maintanence routine, definitely not.
