I'm newbish to detailing.....

So im newbish to detailing, i have waxed 3 or 4 cars nothing major. id like to clay bar and wax my car but i have no idea where to start with it. I have a few spots on the car that are issues.

- the rear chevy emblem, some idiot at a party decided he wanted a new belt buckle and he was gonna take my chevy badge on the back so he attempted to take it off by twisting it. so now there are many tiny ass scratches i took it off and cleaned it up then took some scratch remover and put that on and then some wax but you can still see all the scratches.
(how do i get rid of them)

- Front bumper has some nice rock chips on it that go right down to the plastic on the bumper.
( should i pick up some paint and just touch up paint and attempt it?)

-side skirts are caked with road tar and these tiny redish brown spot that i don't know how to get rid of.
( will clay bar take care of this?)

And i guess getting a buffer would be easier then doing this by hand, any good brands?

Hey sundevil, I like your taste in color preference lol. I think you, Knightwolf, and myself are the only ones on here w/ this color. When did you pick yours up?
