Default Cquartz/Opti Guard ?

Lets hear from anyone using these products. Long term experience and is it worth it. Downside? Upside?

I have cq uk on my c7, that will be coming off soon because of their product 'reload'. UK is great, stay away from reload.

opticoat, never used. gloss coat is great, but no long term results. Also look at pinnacle black label, or blackfire crystal coat.

Blackfire is a ton easier to use as is black label, and results are similiar

The sides of my car are done with CQUK, after a wetsand to add some hard protection. Agree with Ron, CQ is good stuff, RELOAD not so much, but i hear it's reformulated.
