Too much clay baring (1x or 2x a month over a 2-3 years) and you will eventually wear through your clear coat.

Clay will not remove swirls, etc. - you will need a wax/polish with a mild abrasive.
Regarding clay, on "daily drivers", I clay once a year.
For cars, such as my SS, which aren't daily driven, once is usually enough.
