As the title says... Which one would you choose and why

I have Optimium Coating, this is the "pro" version only available to detailers. Not the 2.0 consumer version. I love it! Makes it easy to clean and looks amazing after a wash. Haven't waxed it once, just detail spray after washing and it shines! I went with Opti simply because it's been around longer and I felt had a bit more proven longevity. Plus my grandfather had just put it on his Tesla and it looked great. I think when it comes to these coatings they are all good. Unless your a detail freak (no offence) you probably won't notice much difference.

Thank you for your response and I'm just trying to figure what I will go with when I detail my Z next week. I know there is a shop that uses CQuartz and it looks amazing . I just wanted some opinions on it before I purchase either

I went with Opti Coat 2.0. To bad my car had 28K miles on it before I did it. He tried to fix the paint as much as could but I paid only 350.00 for the detail and the Opti Coat. Car looks awesome from about 3 feet back, but if you really start looking you can see some of the deep clear coat scratches still in it. He did not want to burn into the paint and for the price I paid the car looks dang good.

Had it done in April and my local detail guy just washed her up since I am still sore from surgery. He was amazed at how well the car looked compared to before.

The last picture is before the Opti Coat.

I'd say neither. I prefer Gtechniq Exo v2

But really any of them are going to be great. Just personal preference really. OC is going to give you the longest duration, whereas Exo is going to give you the best beading/sheeting and thus stay cleanest.

I pretty much never need to wash my car anymore, even after driving in the rain. It's amazing how little gunk sticks.

How long does it last?

Interesting I may give it a try

Probably going to give either CQuartz or Gtechniq EXO V2 a try. I'm not sure opti coat is going to be the best
