How many times can a paint be 'corrected'?

I'm wondering how many times over a car's life it can be corrected. I'm sure the aggressiveness of the compounds and pads plays a roll, and the thickness and hardness of the paint.
But, in general, how many times can one do this in a car's lifetime?

Every time I get a new car to work on, the first thing I do is go over the car with a paint depth metering gauge. It measures the thickness of the paint remaining on the car. This gives you a very accurate assessment of where you can work and where you have to be very careful... I have found Jaguar paint to always be a little on the thin side compared with other manufactures,
A meter of this sort can be purchased at any automotive paint suppliers
