Default New car: need help buying cleaning supplies

I'm buying my Z this weekend and want to be able to take care of it properly . I have never really taken care of my cars before (I know... blasphemy!), but I'd like to not mess up the paint and keep it looking nice.

I have read a TON of the posts on this forum but its like you guys are talking another language and a bit confusing. I've also done a search and it hasn't helped.

So... what I'd like to do is find 1 or 2 places max where I can order everything, and I do mean everything that I might need to wash and polish the car and keep it looking nice. So that means towels, applicators, drying towels, washing soap, polish and anything else I might need. I just don't want to start ordering from 3 or 4 or 5 different places. I've seen Dr Bonz's posts that list the minimum Zaino requirements, is there a site that can get me everything else? and what would you consider the basic items needed?

I'm sure this request is somehow asking what someone else asked previously so if you can point me to the thread that will help as well.
