How often do you clay?

basically I clay when the paint feels it needs it...meaning after I was and dry the car, when I touch the panit and it feels gritty I clay it. However I have found keeping up with the cars paint, meaning regular washings and keeping a good protective LSP on the paint I find that I can go quite awhile before I need to clay again.
 
I clay my rear bumper once a month depending on the feel. Everything else normally needs claying every 3-4 months.
 
I clay when I feel it requires it. On my own rides, that's once a year as I keep maintaining it up until winter hits. On clients rides, depends on the feel!
 
I do two full paint details on my garage queens a year...I clay at those times....in between that, I polish with paint cleaners to keep the finish up and clean...then glazes and wax.

Clay is a process that will remove any surface containment's on the paint..if you live in an area has a lot of stuff in the air, or you use your car as a daily driver, etc...then claying the car once every 3 months might be in-line and then like me use some paint cleaners to maintain the finish.

Lastly you can clay the car as often as you like it's only removing the protection and junk that is on the paint..so its not hurting the car in anyway...if you where polishing every week, that would be different as that's takes a % of clear off
 
Any time I seal my car, I aways clay before hand. 4-6 times a year. I just don't like the idea of sealing contamination to the car.
