You should be careful as to what wax you choose. If it is a cleaner type wax it will have some sort of abrasive or chemical in it which you wouldnt want to overuse. Also, as per the previous poster, you want to ensure the wax you use can be layered to avoid hazy type of build up. Zaino, a sealant, can be layered and there have been users who put on over 50 coats...though most will tell you no noticable gloss enhancement occurs after about the 7th layer iirc.
Problems will arise when you wax weekly if you dont prep correctly as you are simply putting on a coating on top of contimenants, locking them in. But if you clay or polish weekly that would simply be overkill as it removes the previous coat of wax or sealant. My advise would be to prep correctly, put on a few layers of your choice of protection, then enjoy. You will find it wont be necessary to address again for at least 3 months and perhaps much, much longer.
