I think that the "glaze" your manual refers to is something other than the 3M Imperial Hand Glaze which is mostly mineral oil and simply fills the minor surface imperfections in the paint. Periodically, you will need to clean the paint surface to remove bonded contaminants. I use Meguiar's #1 which is a chemical cleaner, i.e., it has a high acidity and removes most surface contaminants. Some on this board like clay which also serves the same purpose. Be careful with clay, always have plenty of lubricant, never get in a hurry or "catch an edge" with the clay bar. This can result in a hazed paint surface. Anyway, after cleaning, glaze the surface to fill small swirl marks, etc.. Glaze alone will not last so you need to coat with wax. Your selection of glaze and wax are also my favorites. I have a black Aero and I have always gotten great results with the 3M IHG and Blitz combo and I live in Austin( hot and humid). Oh, and I never have experienced a problem with Blitz on the trim work. If you get wax on the trim it is easy to remove with peanut oil. Good luck.
