I haven't used either, so I would need fordomatic to chime in here on this one as he's used both. I've heard arguments for and against both of those coatings.

You got me. NV evo, nv wheel, nv nova jet, nv boost V2, nv clarity.
I’m on the fence about glass and interior coatings. Someone push me off. |

Glass is worth doing, especially if you do a lot of night time driving (bugs). I don't do a full coating on glass though, preferring to stick with the light duty products such as Gyeon Quick View. In case you haven't ordered yet skip the NV Clarity prep spray, its not very good. NV Wheel is ok, but ADS Wheel Coating is the best available.

Found a tub of CT18 in the garage, not sure how long it had been there, read some good reviews so decided to give it a go. Results came out pretty good, a nice clean gloss look after a wash. Works, somewhat, on the crappy Gerni snow cannon too!
Don't really hear much about the CT18, but seems to be great value for $.

Nova Evo everyday of the week. Easier application, less maintenance, better gloss, lasts double the time.

CQuartz UK3.0 is super easy to apply, better than some sprays to wipe off. I usually do 3 coats as its so simple, coat a panel, wipe off straight away or even half hour later, high spots just go over again. On a maintained vehicle still beading like mad over 1year later, clogged up on a rarely washed outside car. Beads similar to the better spray coatings, impressed. Easily 1 year, seems likely to do 2. Fordomatic recommended the Evo, now on my second bottle, I got 3 cars out of the first. Its noticeably thicker and the applicator is rubbish so I swapped to the Carpro one. Buff is also more work but not crazy hard, but the flashing/rainbow isnt as easy to spot either and more of a wait time, i generally did 2-3 panels before coming back to buff. However its great as only 1 coat is required and once you understand it, its easy to apply. Beading slightly behind the Carpro but not much, I tend to use toppers anyways so no drama. The slickness isn't great (or terrible) for either but the Evo has the edge in gloss. Where the Evo excels is that it always looks so glossy and clean even if its dirty. In the end I chose the Evo when I was out of both bottles, for $95 its a steal, $32 per car for a 3 year coating.
