Sealer and Glaze is used to fill surface imperfections and give an even shine to the finish. On vehicles exposed to the elements, I'd suggest it be topped with a wax (one without any cleaner in it) either paste or liquid to give it longevity. Without a wax topper, it'll likely last 7-10 days depending on the environment.
On our show cars, it's true we don't use any wax - just the glaze. However, they stay inside, under covers, and are prepped each time they go out. On the Hot Rod Power Tour (a cross country drive of cool cars), I drive one of the toys and usually glaze it every morning, and wash it every night. You can read my on-line coverage at http://www.powertour.net/ in a shameless plug of my meager writing abilities.
Back to the glaze stuff - if it were me, I would wash, clay and polish as require to get a mar free finish. Then, I would glaze and top that with a cleaner-free product (we make both paste and liquid without cleaner, as do other companies), and maintain by frequent washing and the use of an instant detailer. I would apply another coat of glaze every other time I waxes, before the application of the wax.
This assumes it's a daily driven vehicle. If it were a toy, I'd wash, clay, polish and glaze only (and often).
Hope this helps.
