Default opticoat pro vs cquartz finest on a white car

so been doing some research lately, considering opticoat pro or cquartz finest for my car. after about a year and a half of ownership and two absolutely brutal New York winters my UW car is a tad bit swirled, more so for my liking =/ . i always hand washed myself and waxed when i could during summer but in the winter I've been taking it to a hand wash place which seems to be leaving swirls in my paint, thankfully white is forgiving and not as obvious. so anyone here with white cars have opticoat or cquartz? how do you like it and how has it held up so far? from my research after about 2-3 years both of these coats to start wearing down. But cquartz seems to be more resistant to swirls since the coating is thicker. appreciate any help here. thanks guys!

With either product, improper handwashing is going to cause swirls. In the winter, I just have to live with self-serve spray washes until spring arrives. Where I live, handwashing outdoors is only doable 6 months of the year.
