i did the same thing and it is amazing. I have an 04 bmw 330ci and I used it for the first time and came out looking brand new. A friend of mine clay bars his car about once a year if the car feels gritty to touch or shows some blemishes after waxing.

Definitely once a year or maybe twice, but that is about it. Also make sure you use a lot of lubricant with it.
