Oops, just checked the OptiCoat website and realized that M Wash has been renamed No Rinse. So to correct my original question to Jason, is OptiCoat No Rinse noticeably better than Opitmum No Rinse?
Also for those of you interested in any OptiCoat product such as Hyper Seal or OptiCoat No Rinse, you have to buy it directly from the manufacturer. These products are not availabe on Amazon or any other 3rd party online resailer.

M-wash is still around, people use it like the regular old fashioned car wash soap or in foam cannons which I think is a complete waste of time, energy and money.
Yes OCNR is slicker and leaves more polymers behind for protection than regular ONR.
As far as "what's better?"... well that's as loaded as this thread title because we're all different in our expectations, budgets, etc.
Since I'm a professional I have to appeal to all ranges so I always interview and listen to each individual client before making a recommendation. Having said that, SO many people go WAY overboard on their car wash routine it's crazy.
I know some people find it "therapeutic" to spend 17 hours hand washing their car and using every product (Griots Garage, Chemical Guys, etc.) ever invented, but to regular realistic people who maybe don't mind washing their car but don't obsess over it, the OCNR method is perfect.
Here is my hand washing demo video.
The thing is about the OCNR method is that it's so easy people think it must not work so they never try it. They'd rather buy all kinds of equipment and chemicals and drag their hose out a make a mess.
Regarding buying Opti's Maintenance line of products, yes they're only available from Opti themselves, or from licensed detail shops like me. They also set the price for all of us, no discounts or specials. But it from a detail shop and you won't have to pay shipping but you'll pay the same price as online. This was done by Opti to help support detail shops. Otherwise it's impossible to earn any kind of profit selling car care products to our clients, but we still have to carry
something because so many client request to use what we use, not the watered down stuff all over Amazon, Walmart, etc.
