Welcome to the Forum
Rather than go into a long winded description to reply to your questions, I would reccommend the you check out the following:
The Tools and Tips will explain far better than I can (and in a heck of a lot less words)
Pastels are excellent for weathering , They produce nice subtle effects such as gun stains and exhaust smoke! Washes are good to , I like to use the sludge method which was in an old FSM magazine, this is how i make mine 2/10 acrylic paint (what ever colour is needed) 3/10 washing detergent (liquid stuff) and 5/10 distilled water this should be applied over a glossy model so that excess can be easily cleaned and then seal it with a flat or gloss coat!
