Yes, I do one of my cars every couple of years. Does a good job of pulling debris out of the finish and leaves a good surface for final wax or finish coat.
Clay bar for the win. I use it twice per year. There is a lot more dirt stuck deep into your paint than you may realize; certainly more than a wash is going to get off. Make sure you wax directly after; when you use the claybar it takes the wax off too!
Clay bar once a year. Where I live, your pretty white paint will turn yellow with the dust residue if you don't give it a deep clean at least once a year. Washings aren't enough. I follow that with a hand-applied hard carnuba wax. My 27-year-old car's paint looks brand new and feels smooth and clean.

Ditto. I started using Clay Magic (Clay Magic Perfect Finish Kit) a few years ago and absolutely love what it does for the car. Removes grime, pollution, and scratches, and leaves the body ready for polish, then wax.
