To those of you who have used both of these, which leaves a better finish?

I think it all about the prep work.

They both perform well.

Cee Dog and some others will really have some good insight.

I have been playing with both for well over a year. I honestly find no difference in looks whatsoever. Here are a few comparative videos I've shot of them:

In general I will tell you its all about the polishing. They will both look great!!!

On a black single stage test panel in the shade the OC was without a doubt darker. I had them right next to each other with a tape line.

When I split them down the middle on our Blue SL I could barely dind a difference if one was there at all but I believe I recall saying that the CQ seemed to have more gloss while the OC had greater depth. Now that- I am not at all sure of and was just as possible the direction of lighting and particular cloud locations had more to do with it then anything.

So the only thing I'm sure of is that in the shade the single stage black appeared darker with OC.
