I know there is a 'jeweling' term out there, but I figure that would be reserved for 3M's Ultrafina or 85rd with a finishing pad and a light touch or lifting up on the machine.
So let's say I'm done with the 'polishing' per se, I don't want to cause any potential marring at this point so I'm hoping I could just machine on and wipe off. I just want to be careful.

So I guess the question is as simple as, do you 'work' or 'break down' glazes or do you just want to throw on a thin thin layer and wipe off?
A non-abrasive glaze will not need to break down since there shouldn't be any abrasives to break down. As you can see on the video link that I provided, you can use a finishing pad to polish until the glaze becomes translucent, and then remove the residual with a microfiber towel. To sum it up, apply the glaze with a soft pad with a slow to medium speed setting, polish until it starts to turn clear and just wipe it off.
