After reading another thread on the site mentioning Fog Fight being a royal pain to use I had pretty low expectations for how well it would work for me.
Last night I decided to give it a try and have mixed feelings on the product.
***One note, my windows are tinted and I have no clue if this impacts how the product performs. I didn't apply it to the inside of the windshield because I ran out of time.
Anyways, for prep I cleaned the inside windows using Stoner's Invisible Glass aerosol. From there I went on to applying the Fog Fight using the supplied products.
Fog Fight has a pleasant smell, very similar to Eraser, and the sprayer mists nicely. Three sprays per window seemed to provide more than enough product. No issues there. However, I do have to comment on the microsuede applicators included for product application. I'm not sure if these applicators do anything special that a microfiber towel can't, but they are simply cut too small to be able to easily use in conjunction with the foam applicator block as they barely wrap around the block and stretch in spots as they get wet. I stuck with it, but I probably won't use them next time.
After applying and spreading the Fog Fight I allowed it to cure on the glass for about 10 minutes. I had read that this was one method that could aide in ease of removal. After allowing it to cure I buffed back off using the supplied microsuede towel for buffing. Again, this towel is way too small to use easily. I gave up after two windows and went to a blue, rolled-edge microfiber towel to finish buffing.
The much discussed streaking/film was present everywhere after a first pass of buffing the product off so I decided to using compressed air on the glass to see if it could dry any more. After using compressed air I made a second pass at buffing and found that the glass was now almost entirely streak free (a few small spots required a little more effort to get streak free). Happy with this method, I completed the remaining three windows using the same method and with the same results.
This morning on my drive in I left the defrost off and no fogging of the glass occurred. Not even blowing my hot breath on the glass could get the driver's window to fog. Two thumbs up there.
Final Verdict
The product performs as advertised, but the effort required to apply and remove it is simply too great. I spent 45 minutes just completing 4 windows, not including how long a windshield and rear window would take. I won't toss it in the trash, but I probably won't use it on my personal car again. Maybe I'll give it a shot on the bathroom mirror if I can find a way to bring my compressor inside. :laughing:
