You should clean your car every week in my opinion. Get a wax as you dry and a detailer to wipe it down in between washes. And you can get the Turtle Wax kit or the Armor All Kit that includes basically anything you would need.

Are you talking about taking it to a car wash? Or cleaning the inside?

if you have a nice car and care about the paint please never use the brush at the car wash. Use a soft mitt and always check it for debris to make sure you don’t get micro scratches everywhere.

I wax every couple weeks using chemical guys butter wet wax. You can get it on amazon. In between waxes I use their detail spray I forgot the name but it’s a black and red label.

Clean the inside and outside weekly. Even if you just get a cheap stick vaccum from Wal-mart that can be converted into a handheld one and like I said a car detailing kit will include detailer wax as you dry a sponge tire shine etc. Pretty much all you will need to keep your whip spotless.
