The thread lives!!!!
No, clay doesn't remove sealant or wax. To remove wax and sealant, you can purchase a Paint Prep like from Griots, or you can mix your own using ISO alcohol and water in a 1/10 ratio. The 1 is the alcohol. Put this in a spray bottle and cover the car, then wipe with microfiber towels, your paint will be clear of coatings.
Make sure you ONLY do this to a thoroughly cleaned car. Use a standard PH balanced shampoo and make at least 3 passes.
