Ok. I'll do that for my SuperDuty, but the Jeep's not gonna get treated that special.
The paint is scuffed to hell below the drivers door (not repairable... trust me) and its rusting pretty bad in places.
The whole purpose of this was to just make it look less pink and that's what I accomplished.
My brother gave me some Mothers wax for my truck. Except the truck needs body work and a repaint so I don't wanna waste it on paint that is crap anyways.

Don't use Mothers either man! Go to any of your local parts stores, look at their wax selection, then don't buy any of it.
Once you buy a real wax from a body shop supply you will never go back.
What kind of body damage does your truck have?

The tailgate is going to just get replaced with an 08 gate most likely and the other stuff I'll let the body shop decide on. I don't feel comfortable doing stuff like that.

Go get a tailgate at a junkyard and install it yourself man. Replace any body panels you need to yourself and you will save a lot of money.
Make sure you get quotes from multiple body shops as well.
Also think about this, when you re-paint something it automatically become magnetic.
Shopping carts and other cars are drawn to it like none other.
This means dents and dings, lot's of them!
With your truck being so new they can still touch up that paint and blend it without re-spraying the whole thing so try not to let them talk you into that!
