Artdeshine Coatings in Kerala: Graphene Matrix, Nano Graphene Pro V3, CMO V2, and Ceramic Allround Explained | Car care blog by T.A.S Detailing Studio Kerala

Who is Artdeshine?

Artdeshine is a Singapore-based coating formulator with one of the most technically advanced product lines in the car protection industry. Their coatings are used by professional detailers worldwide and are known for pushing the boundaries of graphene chemistry — the company was among the first to develop commercially viable graphene and metal oxide coatings for automotive use.

At TAS Detailing Studio in Trivandrum, we apply the full Artdeshine professional range. Here's a complete breakdown of each product, what it does, and who it suits.

Graphene Coatings

Graphene Matrix v2.0 — 5+ Years

Artdeshine's Graphene Matrix v2.0 is an entry-point into the graphene coating world — a significant step up from standard ceramic coatings in heat dissipation, anti-static performance, and longevity.

Key properties: - 9H hardness with graphene-enhanced flexibility - Superior heat dissipation — prevents the water spotting that ceramic coatings develop in Kerala's sun - Anti-static properties — repels dust accumulation between washes - 5+ year durability with annual maintenance - Strong hydrophobic performance

Best for: Daily drivers who want genuine graphene technology at an accessible entry price. Ideal for new cars being protected from day one, or existing cars where the owner wants a meaningful upgrade from ceramic without the full commitment of a multi-year premium tier.

At TAS this maps to: Graphene Pro package

Graphene MAX — 7+ Years

Graphene MAX is Artdeshine's mid-tier graphene product — delivering enhanced UV blocking, improved self-healing bonds, and greater durability than the Matrix v2.0.

Key properties: - 9H+ hardness - Up to 20% enhanced UV blocking over standard graphene formulas - Stronger self-healing bond structure - 7+ year durability - Excellent resistance to bird droppings and acid rain — critical for Kerala's climate

Best for: Owners keeping their car 5-7 years who want the confidence of a longer-rated product with improved scratch recovery and UV protection. The UV blocking is particularly valuable in Trivandrum where paint fading from direct sun exposure is a real concern.

At TAS this maps to: Graphene Ultra package

Nano Graphene Pro Coating V3 — 7 Years

The Nano Graphene Pro V3 is Artdeshine's advanced graphene formula — featuring their latest nano-particle architecture for deeper bonding, improved anti-static performance, and refined self-healing behaviour.

Key properties: - 9H+ hardness with nano graphene particle matrix - Enhanced self-healing — better recovery from light scratches vs earlier V2 formulas - Deep gloss output — notably high clarity and depth compared to standard graphene coatings - 7-year durability - Strong chemical resistance

Best for: Customers who want Artdeshine's graphene technology at its most refined, without moving to the full Elite GSO2 tier. A particularly strong choice for high-gloss colours (black, deep red, navy) where coating clarity and depth make the most visual difference.

At TAS this maps to: Graphene Ultra package (alongside Graphene MAX — our team will recommend based on car colour and condition)

Metal Oxide Coating

CMO V2 (Ceramic Metal Oxide) — 3-5 Years

The CMO V2 is Artdeshine's alternative to standard ceramic coating — using a ceramic metal oxide (CMO) formulation rather than traditional silicon dioxide (SiO2) chemistry. This produces a coating that sits between ceramic and graphene in terms of performance characteristics.

Key properties: - Metal oxide chemistry — harder and more heat-stable than SiO2 ceramic - 9H hardness - Excellent chemical resistance — handles the pH extremes from bird droppings, acid rain, and road chemicals - Lower water contact angle than standard ceramic — stronger beading - 3-5 year durability - Anti-graffiti properties — resists paint transfer and adhesive contamination

Best for: Owners who want a step beyond standard ceramic coating — better heat resistance and chemical protection — without the price jump of a full graphene package. CMO V2 is also a strong choice for commercial vehicles, taxis, and fleet cars where durability and chemical resistance matter more than maximum gloss output.

At TAS this maps to: Ceramic Guard / Ceramic Ultra tier depending on preparation level

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Allround C0.02 — 2-3 Years

The Ceramic Allround C0.02 is described by Artdeshine as "The Paint Bodyguard 2.0" — a versatile, hydrophobic ceramic coating with strong self-cleaning properties and broad compatibility. It can be applied to painted surfaces, glass, plastics, and trim.

Key properties: - 9H hardness - Strong hydrophobic finish — aggressive beading and sheeting - Broad surface compatibility — paint, glass, chrome, plastic, trim - 2-3 year durability - Anti-static properties - Easier to apply and maintain than premium-tier coatings — suitable for cars with minor imperfections that don't warrant full correction

Best for: Owners who want reliable, professional ceramic protection on a budget — particularly for older cars, vehicles with existing minor imperfections, or second cars that don't justify a premium-tier spend. Also a practical choice for windshield, trim, and alloy wheel coating where cost-efficiency matters.

At TAS this maps to: Ceramic Shield / Ceramic Guard tier
