Such a small thing yet I’ve neglected to do it and it pisses me off to no end when I’m in it

Do it! It's a 5 minute fix.
Clayed and Carnauba waxed.
Got some rain coming up, planning on pulling and repainting the front bumper.

Any recommendations for products to do these 3 things?
1. Paint for the bumpers
2. Restoring the blackness of the soft top
3. Restoring the scratches on the soft top windows

Thank you! I've always liked the look of the old school wheels...Rat Patrol, Daktari, etc. It took quite a bit of searching but I got them from a local junk yard for $25 each, the guy had a couple but one was too rusty but he was able to find three more on his network of old grumpy junk yard guys. LOL. My son in law got them sand blasted for me and I spray bombed them rather than powder coat. They're 15x7 or maybe 6.5 I don't remember. @jeeptjadv sorry for the short reply, didn't have time till now for a more detailed reply.Bro. This guys wheels catch my eye every time I see them.

Removed the rack so I can try and strengthen it. Doors accidently came off.
Worked on finally installing some LED auxiliary lights last night. I've got some wiring to do tonight. I am glad my wife is out of town. She would not be happy with the state of the dining room table right now.

Tractor supply Magic brand paint with catalyst and reducer is working great for the axles and painting the frame.
Edit: I'm an idiot and just realized you said soft top

Stopped into Tom woods grabbed yokes for the 30 and 44, sand blaster said he is done with the 44 and sliders.
Received the new Mopar header seal yesterday.
Removed the old seal, cleaned off the remaining double sticky tape, wiped the header surface to remove the remaining glue and installed the new header seal. During the removal of the old seal I identified where the rain leak was located.
This header seal (superseded part number) has been redesigned and is thicker, there is a slight lip that curves over the the edge of the header and a has more pronounced recessed area where the soft top seats; this new seal fits quite well.
The entire installation was was less than 2 hours which included explaining to a couple neighbors what I was doing, reattaching the soft top, cleaning up and putting a couple tools away.
Checked interior for color coordination. 
Where did you get the seal? I have an aftermarket one to put on, but I'm rethinking using it in place of the Mopar one.
I may never conquer Moab or win ride of the month, but today the 5th grade boys of carpool patrol voted us the coolest ride.
