Re: what is your favorite paint coating & why.
I've tried PBL Paint Coating, Cquartz UK, and now my GT currently has Polish Angel Colormatch Glasscoat Cosmic. PA is by far my favorite and definitely the easiest to apply. It is pricey though...

Re: what is your favorite paint coating & why.
Lets see here is all that I have tried so far in no specific order:
Opti-coat Pro
Opti-coat 2.0
Optimum Gloss coat
CQuartz UK
Pinnacle Black Label Surface Coating
Pinnacle Black Label Paint Coating
DP Paint Coating
CAR Bulletproof
Gtechniq C2V3
Gtechniq C1
Gtechniq EXO
Gtechniq Crystal Serum
Ceramic Pro 9H
Ceramic Pro lite
Ceramic Pro sport
22ple
Americoat
Those are all that I can think of and each has its benefit for the most part. When looking into caotings you need to figure out what benefits you are looking for.
Would you like to have one that offers longer durability?
What about scratch resistance?
The way the coating feels?
What about water contact angle?
Application method? (some are very time involved)
I've installed and test a lot as you can see and while I don't have a favorite per say, as each is different than the next they all can offer different benefits.

Of the coatings you have tried, which would you recommend for a first time coating user?
Of those for the first time user, which have a high durability with looks that would impress the average Joe?
I am new to higher level products. As a long time OTC Meg's user, I recently tried some Sonax PNS that has blown away my old favorite, Tech Wax 2.0. This lead me to start considering coatings.

I would say that Americoat and CQuartz UK are good entry level coatings that are easy to apply and yield great results. You would get about 1.5 - 2 years from either one. application methods are very straight forward.

Duragloss sealants and autoglym EGP work for me.

Re: what is your favorite paint coating & why.
I have tried the opti and the CQUK. I LOVE the CQUK, I have all black vehicles and do a lot of dark cars. The CQUK has treated me very well. BUT after a Zaino addiction 5 or so years ago (that lasted like 8 years) I learned it's good to be open and try new products! I am always looking for a better, glossier coating. I was thinking about polish angel or 22ple. It's getting tough, there are SO MANY new coatings!

Re: what is your favorite paint coating & why.
I have some Optimum Gloss Coat I'll be using on my car in the spring. I'd like to try CQUK on our truck or C.A.R. Bulletproof sometime as well.
I liked the idea of gloss coat because I already use the OCW and you can top gloss coat with it if you choose. It also looked super easy to apply based on a video somebody posted last fall.

Re: what is your favorite paint coating & why.
I switched to Gyeon products. I would reccomend prime, ease of use,gives a real carnuba richness but extremely durable. Been on my mother in laws subaru outside for 6 months and still beads but sheets very well.

I'll get 8-10 months of protection.
