I understand what you are asking. There is some argument about which coating is "harder" but I can't really say that I have seen a dramatic difference in scratch resistance between the two. That said, I can confidently say that Finest sheets and repels dirt better than Opti Coat. I can also say in my opinion, that Finest gives a noticeably better look to cars, especially cars that are a darker color.

Finest does only last for a little more than 2 years, unlike opti, but in all reality, most vehicles will need a touch up here and there in terms of polishing after a couple years. I prefer Finest, but Opti-Coat is still a great product.
