Very surprised the brakes did not fade, both my friends got deposits on their discs after 1 trackday. Our formats are different though, we have open pitlanes, 2+ hours of free driving, no run groups and no point bys.

OP track pads and fluid are cheap and I would do them before your 1st track day.

It will make you more confident in your brakes and will tolerate the overbraking novices are prone to more easily. It will also ensure that you do not get deposits on your brakes which can be very annoying when using your car on the street.

Note track pads can still deposit so do cool down laps and secure the car with the trans not the handbrake when you park it.

As to learning to do it yourself, everyone can learn but it is easier if you have someone show you. I would start by learning how to do pads and see how you get on. Plenty of YT vids to teach you. The other jobs I would leave to the pros for now.
