Bring a date, not a truck. Dance and have a good time and don't worry about your ride. That's what I wish I would have done.

I'm going to be painting this truck this summer... do you think that waxing it will soak into the bare metal and give me a hard time when I go to paint it?

You won't have any issues with this as long as the body shop preps the metal properly. 99.9% of paint problems can be avoided with proper prep work.

skip the prom and get her to rub out your paint for you

if your planning on painting it DONT WAX IT get some good rubbing compound and rub it out your shops detailer should have some good 3m rubbing compound if you wax it your painter will be cussing you from the time you pull in the drive way to the point of taking your money wax causes lots of extra work and problems
