CarPro Fog Fight - I finally tried it!

Since it's a gorgeous January day here in New England with temps in the low 50's, I decided to give CarPro Fog Fight a try. The temperature inside my truck was about 70 with the doors shut.

It's not really a product that can be photographed unless adding the steam component but I don't have a steamer.

I cleaned the inside of my windows thoroughly before applying CarPro Fog Fight.

After opening the sealed package I initially thought; what a cute little spray bottle and was going to have some fun with it telling everyone it was a 32oz in the palm of my hand!

I think the actual size of about 6oz.....

I digress, now back to the post.

The soft suede cloths fit the foam block but without a lot to spare. After I figured out how to operate the trigger release I applied the product to the glass as instructed.

When I began to spread CarPro Fog Fight evenly on the glass I noticed that it felt sort of thick but then realized this was the suede cloth spreading the product around. I applied it in a crisscross pattern ensuring that I achieved complete and even coverage.

After about 6 or 7 minutes I went over the inside of the glass with a clean microfiber towel wiping off the haze that forms after the products applied. I took my time wiping it because I didn't want to remove the product but I needed to keep the glass crystal clear for driving.

The total time for the application for the inside of the windshield and side windows on my truck was about 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish.

It did come out good and I'm curious to see how it performs and just how long it will last...
 
I'll be curious to know how this works. Most importantly how long it lasts, especially after someone has touched the windows. I see rear and side mirrors be a bigger problem because of the lack of airflow. As an avid skier and snowboarder I have never found any anti-fog to last very long, but that tends to be a more extreme and confined circumstance.
 
Thanks for posting Bobby. I can't to see what you think of it. From the posts I've seen on AGO it seems like some have trouble with the application.

I think some may be having a bit of trouble because they're trying use too little product.

It's important to apply an adequate amount of Fog Fight to the glass. As the suede cloth becomes dry it tends to drag and skip across the glass.

I mentioned this above; the suede covered foam block should drag evenly as it spreads the product across the glass.

Wiping the haze can be a little tricky and I found having the glass facing the sun or a bright light really hi-lites the streaks allowing you to focus on those areas until the glass is crystal clear....
 
for some reason, only the bottom 2-3 inches of my windshield on the driver's side fogs up sometimes and I have to put on the defrost to get rid of it.

I don't like driving with any type of defrost on unless I really need to b/c it turns on the AC and my mpg suffers so I'm hoping this stuff will help.

I tried some kind of pink wax block I got a while ago for use on eyeglasses and it didn't do anything...
 
This is on my wish list to pick up at Detail Fest.

BTW, I assume one can order any ACC product at Detail Fest such as chemical guys, etc.
 
Thanks bobby. Look forward to hearing your thoughts on how it performs.

When my scuba and swimming goggles fog up, I use a natural product to "fog fight". It's called saliva. Hock one on each lens and rub it in. The rinse solution is whatever your immersed in, sea water or chlorinated pool water. It works great on the goggles. Not planning on trying it on my cars though. If anyone does, I'd be interested in the results.

I tried this on the inside of my windshield but it got difficult to see through, specifically all the different colors.... :D

:roflThat is the first thing I thought of when I read that. Let us know how the Fog Fight works out.
 
Well Bobby it won't be long before you will be able to let us know how it works. It's only a matter of time before old man winter finally hits us in the northern half.
 
Just a little update.

It's been two days since I applied it and the biggest obstacle I found during the application was removing the haze once the product dried. I was pretty successful in removing it and clarity was good!

Yesterday afternoon I was out for a drive and the haziness was back. I was a bit disappointed as I took my time removing it after waiting 6 minutes or so because I thought I had done everything correctly.

I'll grab a clean microfiber towel today and go over it again. I'm unsure what caused the haziness to return and it could be an error in application.

The instructions say not to touch it after it's applied but I have no other choice as it's unacceptable the way it is currently. I'll see of I can get some photos of the haze and post them......
 
ouch. already doesn't seem too plain and simple to use. the worst part is working on that inner front windshield. so difficult to work in that area!
 
Good review Bobby, This is one of those products that make you a little skeptical,but you really want to belive it works. When I place my next order this will be included, thanks to you review...........good job !!
 
OK, because I was really excited to see this product I wanted to give it every opportunity to excel. I grabbed a clean microfiber towel and give the inside of my windshield a good going over. I even went as far as wiping my finger across the glass to see what affect it had on it.

The two photos below illustrate the level of haze I'm seeing.

I've changed the focus and depth of field to show what the driver would see if he was looking beyond the hood as in actual driving.

The right side, or non hazed area shows where I had removed the Fog Fight using Stoner's Invisible Glass and a clean waffle glass towel. Notice the contrast between the Fog Fight and the clear section.

This is AFTER I attempted to wipe the haze aggressively using a soft non weave microfiber towel.

Photo 2

I focused on the interior surface of the glass to illustrate the haze issue and in both photos you can see where I've wiped my finger to the right of the rear view mirror.



My conclusion for now was to clean the interior surfaces of all the glass removing the Fog-Fight product. While there's little doubt Fog-Fight dramatically eliminates fogging, glass clarity is my #1 priority.
