You should only ever break out clay media unless you absolutely need to, you are otherwise installing (more) micro marring that wasn't there before hand. A well-maintained vehicle with a healthy LSP and washed on a regular basis mostly negates the need for claying. Naturally, a neglected vehicle, or one subjected to areas of high industrial fallout (airports, railways ect), well yes, claying would be needed more frequently, maybe once a year. I only know if claying is needed after all of my other decontamination steps.................iron remover followed by an alkaline pre-soak, followed by an acidic contact wash. If the paint feels smooth after this chemical treatment, then you remove a step and don't go rubbing on your paint with what is basically a piece of dirt. If the paint still feels rough, then progress to clay.
