Wiping Tires On A Fendered Bike

I believe that wiping my tires with my gloved or ungloved hand after riding through glass, seashells, or "flints" has prevented numerous flats over the years. When I have fenders installed, I get paranoid and often stop after riding through such debris to properly wipe my tires. If you believe as I do, how do you deal with fenders? Do you have "flint catchers" installed? Or do you stop and wipe as necessary?
