Title pretty much says it all.

I am looking at getting a bundle pack to make sure my 6S stays purdee

Which do you guys think is the better brand. Mothers or Meguiars

I know there are PLENTY of others out there. Turtlewax is common and gets the job done, but I want a showcar shine when I'm finished.

Products im looking at are,
wash
wax
quick wax (spray)
quick detailing (spray)
and light scratch/swirl remover.

Meguiars.

Used them for years on all my vehicles, and they've done well against the harsh weather up here year-round.

Thats who I was leaning towards. I have heard NOTHING but how great all their products are. Course I haven't heard anything bad about mothers either.

Do you know of anywhere I can get a good "bundle package" fairly cheap. I saw on ebay a couple packages 40-60$ that seemed to have the products I was looking for, then they have a big package like 100$ it has just about everything. I was trying to see if it would be more cost effective to get a bundle pack, (which it usually is) or buy the 5-6 things I want individually.

in most cases if you know how to use the product well, you can get similar results from most of them. I did a tech day at Meguiar's a month back and it was amazing what we were able to do to a guys car with the right products and tools.

there are products that are easier to apply, easier to buff or take less time....but it's all about preference and what you want to invest in your paint.

given you are in the area somewhat, but i highly suggest the Meguiars class. it's free, free food (breakfast and lunch) and teaches you some cools stuff. it can be a bit boring, but you do learn the good and correct ways to use thier stuff to get AMAZING results.

I agree, i've got amazing results out of Zaino. But the OP talked about a relatively cheap product line which Zaino is not...
