anytime, i love being on these online forums, im a member of a few, If i cant work on my car i want to talk about it.
I was once like you, young (i still am) and willing to learn wanting to be the best.
the one thing i learned that i will pass onto you is that people can tell you everything you need to know, they can give you a ton of knowlegde but until you try it you will never know. For example you could ask for peoples favorite wax or wash, each person will like somthing diffrent, you will get everysoap made listed. Some are good others arnt, but its all personal. So out some of the products tyou have heard about, see if tou like them. Buy them in small sizes at first, even if it is more coslty, becasue if you dont like it you will save money in the end.
a good example of this is souvern, TONs of people think its the cats neow, i myself dont think its worh the price, im more a of a victoria wax and zymol fan. does that make any of us wrong, no not at all, it just means we look for diffrent things or we precive it difrently thats life.
Enjoy the knowlege, keep asking questions, and learn. But remember you have to try it for yourslef to truly know
