There was a HUGE thread here on Modern Pop guitar techniques a while back. You should read that. It's a lot and should answer most of your questions.
I've read the majority of that thread and I see it's mostly about layering.

I was just thinking I may be trying to add too much distortion to the guitars where in actual fact people are recording them cleaner?

In that thread they were talking bout layering a les paul with a strat, only trouble is I only have a les paul.
