I have used regular CQuartz several times and it is a great product. It lasts a long time, looks great (as long as the paint is properly prepped) and really sheds dirt. The biggest advantage to various nano coatings is their ability to shed dirt and make cleaning easier. I polish and reapply annually in the Spring even though I don't need to (I just like doing it).

However, I have found 22PLE to be as effective as CQuartz but much less finicky to apply and use. CQuartz needs a bit of technique to get right but 22PLE is a no brainer IMO.
