I'm gonna patch my first automotive tire this week.
I need your advice on a good inside automotive tire patch
as I got a flat today, switched with the spare, and went
about a half mile to the nearest auto parts store.

All they had are bike-tire-type patches at the one auto parts
store I stopped at today; they only had crappy passenger tire
patches (little round things, very thin).
I prefer rectangular-cut larger patches (dunno why - I just
feel they might hold better). Those that are something like
three or four inches long or so.
I can easily remove the tire and replace it on the rim
and balance it afterward so this question is only about
the patch. I do not want to patch it from the outside
because I feel that isn't as good as from inside.
Where do you get your inside-tire automotive tire patches?
What type of patch/glue/prep do you recommend?

Take it to a real tire shop and have a "mushroom" patch installed.
It has a plug and a patch combined..
The "tech" product is one of the best.
