My preference is to clay every 6 months or so then layer on a glaze, sealant and wax. Then top the wax up every couple of washes until the next deep clean/clay.
I'm more than happy with the Poorboys products, I use the Black Hole Glaze followed by EXP Sealant and the Nattys Blue paste wax - perfect on dark paints. They are reasonably priced and easy to use.
Make sure the pre clay wash is quite aggressive, I use either Autosmart Tardis, R222 or Poorboys Bug Squash to remove all tar/existing wax before the usual snow foam (Megs Hyperwash) and two bucket wash (Megs Gold Class or Poorboys soap and suds) then I clay the car, two bucket wash again and dry (fully using the Black Baron!). Then it's time to glaze the car using a light cut lake country pad (one day I'll get a DA), before applying the EXP Sealant and finally a coat or two of wax.
In between times I just snow foam, two bucket wash rinse and dry, then Spritz the car with Poorboys QD+ or every 4th wash or so add another coat of the wax.
