How often do you clay your car?

I do all my vehicles twice per year. But a word of caution! I use the McGuire kit, just because it seems to work better than water alone. Now. The kit comes with the bar and a bottle of quick detailer for the lubricant. Yesterday I accidentally grabbed the quick wax bottle, they both look just alike. It made the clay turn to liquid clay. I could not get it to come off without power buffing the hood twice did I mention this was the wife's car and she was watching, no, yelling the whole time
