I have not. I've always been a bit afraid I could damage the paint or clear coat. What is the learning curve like with them, if any?

No learning curve... use clay bar on a washed vehicle.
Only gotta-be is to use a quick detailer of some kind as a lubricant...
Very easy to do.
Lotsa vids on YouTube.
Wax afterward.

+1 regarding the clay bars. They work great. The paint finish will feel like glass. As far as what to use for drying the car, I now use an electric leaf blower to blow the water off the car. It works great, with no spots or residue from the chamois. I picked up a cheap electric blower at Home Depot. One caveat, it has to be electric as the gas blowers give off fumes that can land on the paint.
