Putting the Boxster to bed 4 the winter

I'm a newer owner, having purchased my 2000 986 this past summer. This is the 1st time for me to put a car in storage for a winter.
I've had the car detailed, and getting the annual service next week. One mechanic told me to wait until next spring, while the other said this is the best time so that it is stored w/ fresh fluids - which sounded best to me.
Bought a nice car cover, although it will be inside storage. Was told to put wood under the tires, and dryer softener towels inside all areas to keep bugs and vermin away and to put moth balls under the car. Plan to start it about every 4 weeks or so.
Any comments on anything else to do is welcome as I'm completely new at this.
