A lot of this comes down to personal opinion as there are a lot of good products offered my Autopia. As you can see from peoples posts, a lot of success can be had from a wide variety of products. Since you asked specifically about OC 2.0 I will give you my experience with it and compare it to other product I used recently.
OC 2.0 is a fantastic choice for a daily driver. I had a pro apply it to a Subaru July 2012 and I applied it to my wife's MDX shortly there after. Both cars look great and are still very easy to clean. Nothing seems to stick to OC and the cars remain very mar free. The Subrau has never seen a swirl-a-matic but ,my wife just cannot help herself and the OC 2.0 stands up to it very well.
I do not believe in topping coatings because you pay a lot for the protection durability and looks, why compromise it with a wax or sealant. I would let it roll "naked" and I think you get the best look and performance. Waxes hold dirt and sealants don't last as long as coatings.
Beading has started to fall off my OC'd cars but the protection is still there as I can confirm after I wash and see how easy it is to clean. I plan in using an iron removing product shortly to see if that restores beading and if not then some light decon with clay to see if that helps.
OC has been great, its lasts and protects just like the advertisements say.
For a car that is not babied, and you want the most wow for the least maintenance-OC it the correct choice IMHO.
If you can take a step down (small step) in protection, but a step up in shine, tight beads and slickness I can tell you about my happiness with GTECH EXO v2 all day. It had not been on my car as long as the OC 2.0 so I can't give you long term comparisons, all I can tell you is that its been 9 months and a bad NY winter and the EXO still going strong. Application is equally as easy and like any product, the prep work is far more important than what you decide to use as the LSP (Last Step Product). Proper Prep (Wash, decon (De-Ironizer,clay and or Speedy Prep pad) , polishing and residue removal) is the foundation of the LSP. DO as much if not more research on the prep than you do on the LSP and you will get the results you see posted here.
Search my user name and you will see the write ups and ongoing reviews on both the OC 2.0 cars and GTECH EXO cars.
FWIW, I would pass on the PC and go for a GG or a Rupes. The GG Vibrates less and I like it better. I have a PC I never use anymore (not an XP) because after using a GG there is no comparison in terms of comfort in my hand. I have not used a Rupes but they are the latest and greatest. People I trust on here use it and like it very much. There is a good comparison of all the Rupes that was just posted recently by Todd. If you decide to go that route, check it out. I like my GG just fine and its less $ and guaranteed for life. Perhaps someone can compare the Rupes with the GG for you? If your just getting into a machine, I feel the PC (any variant) is a has been. Just trying to guide you, I don't sell any of this stuff, just to be clear, this whole post is the personal opinion of a guy who buys too much stuff
!
Good Luck.
