Question Getting my "Kit" together

My car deserves to be treated right, so I'm getting my wash kit ready. I do however have a few questions for the gurus.

1. wash mit; sheepskin or MF?
2. wash fluid; what do you suggest? (leaning towards CG citrus)
3. sponges; is sea better than synthetic?
4. leather care; what's the best for conditioner?

I'm sure I'll have more questions but thanks in advance.

1. Sheepskin wash mitt, the ones exceldetail have are great! Be sure to use the 2 bucket method along with a grit gaurd
2. Z-7 has been my favorite, however I ordered chemical guys Citrus Wash and Gloss...
3. sponge not needed...
4. Leatherique FTW!!!!
5. You will need a sealant, Four Star Ultimate Paint Protection FTW

I know this has been beaten to death, but is sealant necessary over wax? (it's a dark car)
