If you want to learn trumpet make sure to practice scales and memorize them. Get a manuscript book to jot down your regular warm ups, you will need them. For jazz this book is awesome for not just you, but any jazz group you join. It has awesome songs that are perfect for messing around with.

Reputable brands don't come with white gloves. Cheap pieces of junk tend to include them as a selling point.
Here is a trumpet that is a total piece of junk:

And another:

These are all pieces of junk, yet they come with white gloves to keep the trumpet shiny!!! Oooohhh! It is a selling point for people who are looking to buy a nice instrument but don't know any better.
Olds is a great student brand, unless there is a problem with the instrument that isn't repairable, I'd try and talk him into keeping the current instrument. I have an Olds student model trombone that I use and I really like it.
Since he already has a decent instrument (assuming it is decent shape), you could try contacting a local independent music shop or instrument repair shop and see if they will be willing to take it on trade credit.
pros to a plastic instrument?
COST!
I got a Cool Wind CTU-200 Series 4-Valve BBb Tuba Black for Christmas (thanks Santa) and it's been great - and $1,445.95 & FREE Shipping is better than
Yamaha YBB-641 Professional Rotary Tuba
$9,565.99$9,565.99
​
No complaints here!
Firstly, a dish soap washing rinsing, scrubbing, and drying (use a very soft cloth for both) followed by valve oil is likely what you need.
Second, not paid or affiliated, but try different valve oil. I use blue juice, and that stuff is CRAZY good. I've heard this stuff is good as well.
I'm looking at this trumpet if anyone cares

I've had good results with the Denis Wick Practice Mute.
I use a Zoom H2N to record myself for auditions or personal practice and I like it .
