Meguiars or Mothers

I am sure this question is totally subjective, but which is better, Mothers or Meguiars? I mean, for ease of application, removal and results. I see that both have products for about every part of the detailing process (Wheels, Interior, Wax), so I am just wondering if one is better than the other! Thanks!

From what I have heard, thats all they are; claims. I have heard people say the ICE doesn't take off water spots, residue, etc.

Even though Mothers always knows best (hehe... i just had to do it), I use Meguiars liquid cleaner/wax. It Takes off hard water spots & any little bit of dirt that your Chamois/Shammy did not get off.

Use with a dual action electric polisher (examples include the Porter Cable 7424 6” Variable Speed Polisher and the Makita BO6040 Polisher.) The rotating and orbiting of the pad produces what many refer to as a "jiggling" motion. This irregular motion prevents the polisher from burning the paint, which refers to removal of paint below the clear coat surface. Dual action polishers are very USER FRIENDLY because they produce very little heat compared to just a rotary polisher.
