Wash once a week is fine, but if you are claying once a week that is too much. You are running the risk of inflicting more damage to the paint. I used to clay once every six months maximum, that way it was enough to keep the paint good. Remember the clay will strip any protection off, so you are starting again. Also, if you are polishing, then a wax/sealant is a must.
My advice, not that i am an expert!!, would be to wash it, clay it, wash it again, polish, wax, and then in subsequent washes, just either top up the wax or get something like meguirs detailer which you can do in half an hour tops and it will bring the shine back and help protect. If you get a liquid wax/sealant such as blackfire etc its easier to apply than the polish. The polishing part is usually the hard bit.
Over a few months you will notice it getting a nice glossy finish with a few coats of wax. The scratches will need a machine polish providing that are not to deep.
Have a look on here, there are some good guides on cleaning.
