Unless you're taking your Camaro mud-bogging in a sand pit, then once a week is plenty to wash it and maybe once a month or two to polish & wax it. As for clay barring, assuming that the car is on a strict and dedicated cosmetic regimen, that should only need to be done bi-annually. There's no need to get obsessed and spend hours detailing it every single week, you'll just grow tired and stop doing it altogether. A more laidback schedule that you actually sit down and form will be easier to stick to from here on out. Washing a car along with a quick interior vacuum once a week with a full detail/wax/polish once every month or so alone is already much more than what most people do for their cars.
These cars have galvanized steel unlike most classics - vehicle manufacturing has come a loooong way since the old days, I can understand why somebody would be scared to wash a classic car but this is a brand new one. You don't need to worry about that kinda stuff for years to come.
If you want to really nail potential rust where it HURTS, make sure to give the car a thorough undercarriage cleaning once a month with a pressure cleaner on the lowest setting. No dirt attacks a car more than on its underside. Not to mention the feeling you get when you know your WHOOOLE freakin' car is clean as a whistle. Top and bottom. Ahh, it's so nice.
