Default Cleaning Supplies
i'm about to go to the auto parts store this weekend and "splurge" on cleaning supplies for my car such as window cleaner, car wash, tire shine, mits, and buckets. What brands do you guys prefer to use? any suggestions?

Well, you really will limit yourself at some point with a parts store.

Car wash - Meguiar's Gold Class or NXT, Mother's California Gold, or Eagle One Wet
Claybar - Clay Magic, Mother's, or Meguiar's
Polish/Paint Cleaner - Mother's or Meguiar's
Wax/Sealant - Mother's or Meguiar's
Glass Cleaner - Stoner's Invisible Glass, Eagle One 20/20, or Sprayway
Tire dressing - Armor All Original or Meguiar's Natural Shine
Mitt - quality sheepskin - usually find Eurow brand from Wal-Mart
Towels - I will not buy from regular stores, but if you have to, Viking or Meguiars

IMO, it's really worth ordering some items.

I feel that it releases trapped dirt/grit better.
