Any tips for someone dabbling in detailing their own cars micko?

Get yourself a cheap Random orbital polisher. You can't damage your paint with 1! 

Get yourself some orange pads and some HD apapt. This stuff cuts quite heavy defects but is also a diminishing compound so the cutting agents actually break down as they are worked. Unless your car is seriously munted this stuff will work great and will finish down to a nice mirror finish ?

Decontaminating & Preparing your car for sealing is the key to making your wax or coating last as long as possible ?

So i bumped out another car over the weekend. My sister's WRX. The paint was stuffed it looked like it had been washed with steel wool! So after a wash and clay bar this is what i had to deal with.

So heres how she finished up.

I sealed her up with Angelwax Ti-22 titanium paint sealant followed up with Angelwax Dark Angel. Then i threw a coat of Kamikaze overcoat on it. 

Pics do it no justice. Kamikaze products are amazing!
