It depends on the polisher and polish that you are using, as well as your technique. I may touch up my paint 10 times a year, but I am only using a very light polish and finishing pad, along with the PC because that's all the power I need. So you really can't make a blanket statement like that without defining exactly what is being used.
Very true, let me go into detail a bit, if your using a compound once a year your cutting a lot of clear coat off. Where as I use a finishing polish like FF 3000 and a orange or white pad for my yearly work unless a spot needs more extensive correction.

I'll go along with that. Although once you have fully corrected your paint, you should never have a need to use anything more aggressive than a white pad. That's is, if you are properly touching your paint. Of course this only applies as long as something never happens to your paint that was beyond your control (like a fat woman with a garbage bag for a purse grinding up against your paint as she goes by).
