Review - Gyeon Anti Fog

Seeing as everyone was picking up some of the more well known Gyeon products, I figured I would go a different route and try the anti fog product.

I am always skeptical of these type of products as they don`t seem to perform that well.

I applied this onto the bathroom mirror. I will be reviewing this against another popular product in rainx anti fog.

I cleaned the glass with Meguiar`s D120 followed by Optimum Paint Prep to remove anything on the surface. Gyeon Anti Fog was applied with a suede block and Rainx was applied with a blue shop towel folded into a small applicator. Tape line the middle to use as control point.

I thought I had thrown this out and I ended up finding it on the far back of one cabinet.

During the application process, Gyeon Anti Fog leaves a light haze prior to being removed.

Where as Rainx doesn`t do that. See the clarity of the mirror in the background

Now here is what everyone is waiting for. I turned on the shower to get some steam going. This is what I saw from both products. I will let the photos speak for themselves.

Initial Impressions:

Well initially I am not that impressed with Gyeon Anti Fog. Rainx simply outperformed it in this test. Gyeon claims that Anti Fog is supposed to last 2 months. I will see how the mirror looks like after some time has passed. Perhaps that is where it will win out. I will say that the foggy appearance doesn`t last long on either surface before they go back to clear glass. So that is one benefit.

But is this a product that I am going to run out and purchase again? No.

Would I recommend it? No. Unless something magical happens.

The packaging is top notch.

I will be giving it a try on the inside of my front windshield to see if I notice anything different from one side that I am not going to apply it on.
 
Thanks for the review, Guz! I can`t believe Rain-X anti fog out performed it. I used Rain-X anti fog once years ago and wasn`t impressed at all.

I was just as surprised that rainx out performed it. I was not impressed with it either. I had high hopes for Gyeon.
 
Thanks for doing that review, Guz. I`m looking forward to your followup posts. This is unfortunate given the expense of Gyeon Anti Fog. Maybe it would perform better in a car with different conditions. Would love to see this in action, but might have to wait until winter.

Nice review.


This is looks and your results are basically the same as I had with CarPro FogFight. I would guess they are similar if not the same. And FogFight didn`t get good reviews either. I now only use it on bathroom mirrors.
 
Mike -
Thank you for taking the time and buying products for this test.. That was a lot of work !
Great review of products and amazing that the least expensive one worked the best..

Guess I must be in some kind of a bubble because I have never had to deal with inside glass fog in the car or in the house.. :)

I see people all the time driving in winter with fogged up windshields and I assume their defroster/A/C is not working or they don`t have it, or their heater on..

If any A/C`s design is to remove moisture from the air and cool the dried air (in hot weather) then it would make sense to me to do either of the 2 --
Turn on the ceiling vent fan or open a window in the house, or in the car open a window or switch it to defrost to get rid of any fog..

Must be a California thing. My windows fog in the summer due to high exterior humidity and heat and cold AC running on high in the car.
 
Here`s some feedback on the mirror test. Just shy of 10 days. I will say that both work well as the steam evaporates rather quickly from the glass.

I went ahead and applied it to half of my windshield. What a pain in the rear end to work with. I cleaned the glass and used optimum paint prep to prep the glass for the anti fog. I applied it into smaller areas as it doesn`t work very well when working a large area due to the suede applicator sticking to the glass. Also with the clunky car pro type applicator included in the package. It has a short working time. I left it on the glass for about 2 minutes. I had a hard time removing it. The included suede towel is too small to grab onto and is not comfortable holding. I used a larger car pro suede towel followed by another microfiber towel to be sure I completely removed it. I got a workout just applying and removing it lol.

I had a hard time on the glass for my dad`s car as well. I ended up stripping it off the glass with optimum paint prep.

This is what I woke up to this morning. Still product on the glass. I had to wipe it once again with another microfiber towel. Definitely not the most user friendly product.

That last part is what I remember the most about CarPro`s anti-fog. Not only did it not work, but applying and more importantly removing it from my windshield was a complete PITA.
 
I am officially going to call an end to this test on the mirror at 21 days. I didn`t take any photos but both products don`t do much anymore. The clarity is about the same. Nowhere near what it was at the 10 day mark. The glass on my car looks to be fogging up more than usual on the part that has gyeon anti fog from outgassing of the dash. So apparently it is still on the glass.

In the end Gyeon did not live up to the "up to 2 month claim". It didn`t do much against fogging on the mirror or on my glass. It`s a paint to work with. Leaves a haze on the glass if not applied and removed properly. Definitely not worth the money or having it one`s arsenal.
