imo if you use a
soft clay you can clay every other wash. That's a top surface claying and I think you should be doing this before you reapply a carnauba paste wax topper like P21S or a synthetic paste or liquid topper like FK1 Pink Wax or NXT. if you're going to dry rub on the paint you should make sure its free of road sediments before waxing.
If you are doing your seasonal stripping of all your polishes, sealants, and waxes you should use a harder clay to strip the paint bare to the clear coat. This 'harder' claying removes the sediments that gets traped into the various layers of wax that you apply during a season.
The frequency of polishes depends on the degree of abrasiveness. A mild polish can be used 3 or more times a year for an outdoor/daily driver. A stronger polish like Werkstatt Prime Strong (Carlack in Germany), Poorboys, or Klasse should be used less frequently or when needed like in the event of a mishap...such as parking under a tree full of birds who hate Porsches.
