*3m tire shine
*dishwasher soap (i dunno i used it on my rims it cleaned hella well)
*meguiar's interior detailer
*invisible glass
*12 microfiber towels.

hey there and welcome! 
hope to see you at some of the local meets. As for cleaning the soft top, I think some people just wash it as if it was part of the car's body panels. However, I found that if you used regular soap on the soft top, anytime you get water on it, bubbles will start to form. There are a couple of different soft top cleaner solutions available out there. 
or you can just get a hardtop

Did you use the dishwasher soap on the car? If so, it strips the wax off and you should rewax it. If you just used it on your wheels, then that's fine, but you may want to wax your wheels to make them easier to clean in the future.

Car is looking cleeaan.
I would suggest using Optimum No Rinse formula. You only need a wash mitt and a bucket, no need to rinse the car. Paint looks great after you're done too.

. I hope you didn't use dish soap on the car.
