I'll send the mitts to anyone that kind find my review.
After much searching, I could not find a review for the GYEON Bathe car wash soap. I know I have one for the mitts though.
I think I confused this review for the GYEON product.

I wanted to use an established actual coating as a comparison that no one would question the reputation of and I could have used a half dozen brands. I just had an unopened bottle of the CQuartz.
The test is to see which of the Wolfgang products lasts longer as that was the question I was asked. My suspicions are any "actual" or conventional coating as in, tiny glass bottle applied using a foam block with a microfiber suede patch of cloth, will last longer than the spray or the sealant products.
The features and/or claim of the spray and sealant products isn't that they will last longer than a conventional coating but that they are faster and easier to use than a conventional product and this I can attest to.
If a person wants to invest in the time, patience, energy and work to apply a conventional coating that last a long time the BLACKFIRE Pro Ceramic Paint Coating is a coating that can only be removed via compounding or polishing.
I'm working from home today and the Golden Eagle is parked outside exposed to the world and it's going to be hot today. I'll measure the surface temperature sometime this afternoon.

This is gonna be good! Thanks for taking on this test for everybody Mike. Without a doubt to be one of the best tests to show real world durability and serve as a testament to Deep Gloss Paint Sealant. Never used myself but I know it’s been favorite amongst many on AGO and the larger detailing community.
Excited to see the hood temps, even on a champagne colored car, Florida sun is gonna make a frying pan out of the hood.. heck it’s already got the “non-stick” coating applied!

Re: Real World Ceramic Coating Test by Mike Phillips
Subscribed! I like this test because not only can you compare water beading, but you can also see performance against water spots, bird bombs, bugs, and heat. You can also watch how quick and easy the hood is clean.
All of the cars I take care of are daily drivers and the truth is what their owners notice after a maintenance wash is if the car is shiny, if all the droppings, bugs, and spots are gone, and if the glass is clean. The savvy people with darker-colored cars also keep their eye on swirls. So while water beading can be fun for me, I gravitate towards LSPs that give that extra protection and make maintenance easy.

Cool test. That sanding is hardcore! I’m really worried about your control section and the taped off areas! I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night!

I liked the sanding prior to compound and polish.

It's been a while since I used the Wolfgang Deep Gloss Paint Sealant 3.0 - but yesterday when wiping it off, (after it fully dried), I remembered at least one reason people like it so much and that's because besides wiping off super easy it also leaves the paint incredibly slick and slippery.

I know it gets redundant when I say or type this but,
I have an article on this topic,
