Basically, after a wash, your car is still dirty. Small specks of anything on there. When you rub the bar on, you feel friction, that is the specks. Then it feels smooth with the bar and that means the bar got rid of them. You would be surprised after even a wash, how dirty it still is once you use the bar.

I'm only used to the wash and wax by hand method but I keep leaning toward that clay bar and from your car its seems cleaner than waxing by hand.

Dude, them Nightshade tails look NICE. True, they could use some clearcoat, but I likey. Great job getting her cleaned up. Bit of advice for next time: warn ppl with 56k modems that you have large pictures to load. I have a high-speed connection, but others may not.

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.
