You must remove the wax prior to claying. Otherwise the bar will pull it off as well.

Basically waxing grinds the dirt in. Even though it looks great afterwards. Should bar it then wax it. Be amazed what the bar takes off.

Under the spoiler is tricky because there is always going to be dirt there. But if you remove the spoiler (a few screws under the truck), you can put a washer on each screw to elevate the spoiler a bit and the dirt will run right under it. If you remove the spoiler you'll be in for a surprise..it's going to be really gross and there might be some rust spots.
As for the nicks, it shouldn't be a problem.
