Do it a panel at a time and wont take long. Would suggest doing a clay bar also before you wax if you have never done it to the truck.

Alright, should I wash if before I wax it? I have no idea about this stuff. I have the basic ideas of what to do

Buy a clay kit. It'll have instructions on how to use it inside.

Meguiars 1-2-3- system is good. You get the cleaner wax, polish, and carnauba. Pretty straight forward, forgiving, inexpensive, and beginner friendly.
