jap maple leaves are prone to drying out quick, especially if there is some hot dry wind. Never water them in the morning as this can sit on the leaves and create problem as the sun hits them. you can leaf cut the damaged ones off if you wont, cut thru the stalk and this will produce new leaves. But note do this in summer. You dont wont them in full sun if you can help it, they grow quite well with some filtered sun and a position where they get afternoon sun. The rest of your routine sounds fine..

good luck glenn.
