Hey guy's, just wanted to add a note here that the ArtDeShine graphene coating used in this video is now about two formulations old and according to the brand's reps and other users/reviews the current formula is much improved which I think is great to hear. New technology always has a learning curve and I'm appreciative of brands that take that leap to help further the detailing community and all the amazing products at our disposal.

This is the only detailing channel I know that performs tests and comparisons comprehensively and factors in every possible case scenario. From the user experience up to the proper curing time, real life tests under Aussie conditions, chemical resistance tests, multiple test panels with different layers and configurations, logical explanations and unbiased opinions, etc. and many more that other channels don't do. We really appreciate your hardwork, Sandro. We love you man, I'm your number 1 fan here in the PH. Thank you for this video.

I been detailing cars for the past 12 years now. False marketing is the main issue here. Over hyped product strength and false promises lead to customer’s disappointment and lost trust. I have tested almost 50 different brands of ceramic coating throughout the years but to be honest non of it come close to what they describe. End of the day whatsoever technology that you use it’s not permanent solutions! The car owner need to take some responsibility to maintain their vehicle. As a Detailer you have to be sincere to your customers whenever you presenting the solutions.

Another masterpiece Sandro! Perfect visuals, concise conclusions based on observable factors, awesome editing to pull everything together for the viewers. Thanks for sharing your extensive testing and experience with these coatings, and packaging it all together so seamlessly so that we can observe exactly what you are. Your work is truly invaluable to the community.

It will be interesting to see how the technology develops, if it's as good as CQuartz UK 3.0 from the start, imagine when graphene matures as SIO2 did, the coatings will be awesome

[TheCarDetailingChannel]

I've been looking into Art Deshines line up of coatings for my Grand Cherokee. I'd get the whole meal deal with the Graphine, wheel coating, leather coating, and glass coating

[Jeff_Seely]

Well knowing that it is three times the cost of a known, easy to use, durable, and beautiful ceramic coating, I strain to see the value. 3.0 is on my friend's car and he absolutely loves it. And his paint work is quite nice. Thank you for another great and thorough comparison.

[functionaldoc]

Sandro great review the best level headed real world opinion on the internet. Thanks for your great review.

[DavidC]

ease of application is something i really need....i live in a very very very humid and hot environment in south florida...and even easy to apply ceramics flash very fast....so theres no way im touching this happily stick with car pro cquarks uk 3.0....love the the gloss and hydrophobics....plus a brand that stands behind their product.

Because there doesn't seem to be any advantage to the artdeshine graphene coating, why would anyone in their right mind dish out $280 dollars for this product? Not me for sure!

[tomasaro]

Had to check my box with Artdeshine as you said any instruction wasn’t in yours?

In my box from Artdeshine
I also had the copper Artdeshine Nano Graphene card, some stickers BUT also a instruction book how to apply the coating.
In it the instruction was application guide, curing, usage/storage.
The instruction was easy to understand and follow.

[groundcontrol]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: “graphene” coatings are just high end ceramic coatings with an RGO additive just so they can slap graphene on the label and milk the hell out of the hype it’s been on for quite some time. If tech giants like Panasonic have been having trouble with the technology in its solid form even with their advanced facilities and manufacturing processes, what makes you think the detailing industry could just put it in a bottle in liquid form and have it be stable and apt for such a niche automotive use? It just doesn’t add up. It’s funny, if you’re objective/skeptical about this people get mad at you and/or call you a hater. MARKETING 101
Edit: small spelling error

[Tony_Seed]

Graphene coating is ceramic coating with a little bit of graphene powder mixed in to turn it dark in color but physically does nothing, your just getting the results of the ceramic coating, maybe they will get better over time, but the platelets don’t line up or do what their supposed to do at a nano level...yet

[jhonnybfmv]

If this product can be put side by side to something that cost 4 to 5 times less and not be a clear winner in most categories I dont get why anyone would buy it. Might as well spend those 280AU$ on a ceramic coating and get your moneys worth

Mate your the best Sandro, cant wait till we see just how it long lasts and when you test the 303 graphene review and tests? OMG almost $300.00 dollars for something which has no instructions from the manufacturer and not even on there own web page, is like totaly unprofessional, even the cheapest car care products out there like cheap as microfiber towels and its manufacturers has details of how to wash them properly, . :) Sandro quick question mate car p[ro's reset car shampoo does it have restoring wax's built into it, so that if you have a coating no matte what it is like ceramic SIO2 based or any hybrid wax or nano tech it helps bring it back when you use it right, at least that's what the web page about the products states?

[danniecarmona]

I checked the price of the Graphene compared to ceramics and this Graphene is way overpriced. Adams Graphene is probably just as good but about a quarter the price

[doughope]

Great test & review, thank you. I just did my first graphene, with Adam's Graphene Ceramic. It does flash very quickly like the ArtDeShine but it was not difficult to level out, even if it dried a bit. The gloss and slickness and hydrphobics are impressive, and if it's no better than a consumer-grade ceramic, that's ok by me as I picked it up for $69; not much of a premium over most ceramics. If it performs better, great.

[harrym.]

what . Co UK ist better in Video and you buy it für 60 euro. Aert de Shine is expensive

[stardollmega]

Regarding graphine vs ceramic you have chosen for test the most expencive graphine please use glassparency or adams graphine bouth maching ceramic coat price at list in USA.
