Dry brushing?

Morning people,

Having never dry brushed anything before in my life (don't laugh) I think it's about time to take the next step to improve my models.

Are there any tips for ways of improving my technique without ruining models? What can I practice on? Which parts of 1/24 cars and 1/12 bikes should I be looking to drybrush? Obviously where I'd like to bring out detail, but can I do things as small as brake discs and calipers on 1/24th cars or will I be wasting my time?

Say for instance I'm doing a bike engine, painted in a base coat of aluminium, do I need to go lighter or darker with the dry brush colour?

Sorry if this is all second nature to you guys, but having never tried it, I don't wanna try it on my current project (Tamiya Honda RC211V Minolta) and ruin it.

Any advice will be much appreciated.
