[resolved] How to make an iPod stock.

I’m selling my iPod 3G to a friend so I can upgrade. I want to know the best way to “wipe” it. It’s running 4.1 fw and it’s jailbroken if that matters. But my ultimate goal is to make it like I just bought it… No personal data of any kind left behind. No jb data as well. Nothing. Same with my iTunes and cydia account. Need all that data to be non existant. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide.
Answer #1
do a system restore

So the restore will make it so you have to associate a new iTunes account in the ap store etc.? Last time i hit upgrade and it left a whole slew of data on it. The restore will completely format it?
