Default How often to clay?

If you wash with Dawn, clay, and keep it waxed frequently with something like Zaino, how often do you need to start over and clay again? Once a year? Never, just keep waxing?

Depends on weather it is an everyday driver or a garage queen. I do a full claying in the spring and then as an area needs it. I also do a light claying of the entire car before the cold weather sets in.

Once or twice a year for my daily driver Silverado, especially after winter in the spring is a good time......

I have found that every three to five years is plenty on my cars.

I'll clay once a year as part of a complete detail & then I'll spot clay (typically while I'm washing the car) as needed throughout the year.
