Since you live up North of me in the area close to LA I would suggest going to one of the gun shows in OC or similar. There is a family that sells cleaning rods/patches/jags/brushes/ ETC and the old fellow running it is pretty up to speed on what works and doesn't. I buy my patches in huge bags for my 50 caliber and 45 caliber muzzle loaders since I wipe between shots. I bought my cleaning/loading rods from him also as they are the "Wonder Rods" that bend a bit but never break. He also sells tools such as gunsmith screwdrivers sets, Weaver scope mount set, AR-15 tools and such. Liquids are available in large cans and I buy those except for RemOil which I buy at Walmart.
