For a definitive answer as to how much paint is removed by claying, washing, waxing, rubbing, polishing, buffing, etc., you'll need a mil gauge. It's used by body and paint shops to measure paint thickness.
Anytime, you create friction on the paint surface, a little paint (or clearcoat) is removed. I wouldn't obsess over any of the above operations performed manually.
