If you have a black car you definitely need to get a Grit Guard. Also, I would switch out that microfiber wash mitt for either a genuine sheepskin mitt or an Edge ShMitt.

I'm not really a fan of "wipes" products in general either.

I'd use at least 2 wool mitts, and if you feel daring try out the shmitt.

http://www.autogeek.net/shmitt.html

I have one and it's made all my previous wool mitts into dedicated wheel mitts.

Also get a grit guard or two.

aerospace protectant for the vinyl (top, dash, etc)

Also, if you just got her, you'd probably want to put some wax on there. I just put on some collinite 845 for the winter and it's very easy to use and gives a decent shine.
