Been using Cat Crap for years, helped keep my glasses from fogging up while riding my bike in the cold winter mornings with my balaclava on. Can absolutely recommend for ease of use, efficacy, and cost.
@@jimsullivan3539 I don't see why not. My lenses are polycarbonate and that's also plastic. It washes off easily with soap so the worst that can happen is it leaves a film and you wash it off.
I was involved in a military simulation and my Rx glasses fogged up all the time. I used Spit Gel and Spit spray. Worked beautifully. I found my old bottle of Spit Gel and spray after 13 years in my gear bag, still works.
Definitely much needed video!!! Going to clink your link and get some red stuff!! In the dental field wearing 2 masks and a face shield with my glasses and deal with fog issue. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful, Deb! "The Red Stuff" lol, is definity the best for glasses, but I use face shields also, and I would say that the Z-Clear spray takes care of the sheild really well. It's a lot easier to apply on the shield than the pastes!
Excellent video Doc! When you have videos where you have to speed through "drying times" and such, might want to have a large cheap clock sitting on the desk or on a wall so that people can see the time passing but you don't have to stand there being uncomfortable. Definitely subscribed!
I've tried that before, but out kept doing down because I have to talk so much during the day. But if I'm just hoping doing by myself, then it works fine.
You DO NOT have to let spit antifog dry. You can apply and buff immediately. Drying may help to last longer but in most cases doesn’t matter. JAWS also makes Quick spit antifog that is easier to use. JAWS antifog s are awesome!
I have tried the Fog Gone spray and haven't got very good results from it either. I've seen Spit recommended elsewhere but it says "not for prescription lenses" which concerns me because my glasses cost about $500 a pair because of materials, coatings etc. So I have concerns that it will ruin my glasses. I think I'll try "the Red Stuff" as it says it is safe even for coated lenses. Thanks for the demonstration!
That's why we wanted to try these. Some companies write that on there for liability reasons, but if you want to try something that has worked the best in our experiments try Fog Stopper. It worked well as you can see in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html
You're missing Fogtech DX. Its not a recognized brand yet so guess a lot of people are sleeping on it. But Fogtech DX is really a fantastic product and its truly anti-fog compared to most brands and other formulas.
You know how when you go out in the cold and your glasses fog up as soon as you go inside...Try walking into the building backwards.. They really don't fog.. My sister tried it last week and it worked.
Thanks so much! I tried the Z clear, Fog Gone, Fog away and a cloth that’s suppose to do the same thing. I haven’t seen much difference or benefits. Thank you for your critique! I’m glad it wasn’t because I applied it wrongly. Could you try the Fog Away and a Easy View Fog cloth? Perhaps you have better results than me for those. Also, could you let us know how long it lasts before you need to reapply? I also heard that using a drop of dishwasher soap could work. Not sure you tried that before. For now, I purchasing your cat crap recommendation. What a brand name, eh? :) Thanks again!
Check out my other videos where I do try other diy hacks like dish soap. It works well, but only if you don't have any extra coatings on you lenses. If you do have coatings, then try this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html
In my experience I could not get Cat Crap to work at all on my glasses, it did work on my motorcycle helmet visor however. I think the type of lens and its coating definitely matter in terms of getting anti fog products to work. The ones which worked best for my glasses were Revision anti fog cloth and Lifeart anti fog cloth any wipe style one really
We found that if the lenses have any coatings, then most anti fog products don't last long at all. The last video in this series show us trying a bunch of products on glasses with coatings
For Germans - this is NO advertising!: I got a spray called "Anti-Beschlag Spray (power plus), and, at least for shopping with a mask, it works more than fine. Drying time, or rather coating time - as the spray will not be completely dry if you applied too much:-) is given as thirty seconds. BUT they expressedly tell you, NOT to use a micro-fiber cloth, but soft paper tissue. My guess: micro-fiber is too potent and takes part of the stuff off again? Haven't tested it in the bath-tub yet, but will 😃
No, these are all advertised to be used on prescription glasses. I have tried reach one on my glasses and so far, I haven't noticed any problems. But I'll let you know if I do!
Welcome to the channel! Something that we have find was that Cat Crap works best without coatings on the lenses. Check out the last video of the Anti-Fog series. We found something better!!
@@stanfield3239 Lol, actually, I'm not sure. I looked for the ingredients, but it never showed. But the Cat part of the name comes from the name of the machines that carries skiers up the mountainside.
@@TrueFocusEyeCare oh no, the content is good!!! thanks for making a vid on it so we don't have to, it just made me laugh (in a good way) when the kids started running around, super cute!!! 🤣
I cleaned my see-through mask with alcohol and then applied Dawn dishwashing detergent with a Q-tip to apply a thin layer of it. The dry with a tissue. It really worked great. Get the Fog out of here!😂
I had tried "the red stuff" previously, and was very disappointed with it. But after watching this review, I figured maybe I wasn't applying it correctly so I ordered one to give it another shot. Unfortunately, it has had the exact same results - when it gets wiped off/buffed, its gone and the glasses get fogged. I've tried 4 times so far, with different levels of buffing and different microfiber cloths. I followed along exactly how you did it, and still nothing, the glasses completely fogged up. What am I missing? Do you have any tips I'm not thinking of? Is the fact that my classes are AR messing this up for me?
We also realized that Cat Crap doesn't work for long on glasses with AR coatings, so our last video in the series showed that. The best product that we have found so far is Fog Stopper. Works great for glasses with coatings!
You're welcome! It was a fun experiment trying these products. Make sure to check out the rest of the playlist to see the other products that work even better than these!
Are this products works with prescription glasses ? Some of this products will damage the special coating or treatment, I didn't see or heard you mention that in your test presentation, Did your glasses you used in your tests , were prescription or with special treatment as anti-glare etc. can you please elaborate better this , will be appreciated. NOTE : 10 ml. AR Fog Stopper from Dynamic Labs. this is another product that is working so far for all kind of prescription glasses, maybe you want to test this .
Great question. I have used all these products on my own glasses without any issues with my coatings. In this video we used prescription lenses without AR (anti-reflective coatings) because that's what we had in stock at the office. In my last video of this series, I show what does and doesn't work for glasses with coatings. The link is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html
Cat Crap is what the professionals use to anti-fog their weapons optics and scopes, it's great stuff. Has to be the paste form. If the paste turns liquid, it's no longer good. Have to get another tub
@@TrueFocusEyeCare you're welcome! Cat Crap is especially useful in States with high humidity for weapons optics/glasses/sunglasses. For example, an officer/soldier spends some time inside an air conditioned cabin of a vehicle who then goes out in a warm humid environment... their glasses/optics are cold from the AC and will fog up for several seconds when exposed to the hot humid environment like FL or TX--so it's especially necessary to maintain visibility especially in a job as dangerous as that. Cat Crap is mandatory in those states 🔥
One red flag, if you use your finger to apply, no matter how good the quality of your lenses, THEY WILL SCRATCH OVER TIME You should never apply anything to you expensive lenses using your finger, even if you clean your hands first. I know there is no practical way to keep from scratching your lenses, even a microfiber cloth with build up with dirt that will scratch your lenses. I've always used the disposable eyeglass alcohol wipes to clean mine, but it still happens but at a much slower pace
That was the instructions for that product, but as you said scratches will come no matter what eventually. Thanks for critique, but we are just trying to help those who are tired of foggy lenses. People are trying crazier things!
Ugh, I remember those days! I will say a lot of these anti-fog products don't work as amazing as seen on this video if the lenses have non-glare coatings. But I still use this on mine, and it works really well.
It's advertised that it will not, and we did not see any damage so far in the lenses that we used them on. If I were you, I would check out the last video of the Anti-Fog playlist. The winner is definitely the best that I have used so far! I've been using for 6 months now, and after prooving itself to me, I now sell it in my office.
i use to use cat crap at work they don't have it anymore now i am having trouble seeing i work in a cold freezer then when i walk off the floor my vision is little to none and its hard to hurry and get all my gear off exchanged not being able to see
I used z-clear both spray and paste for a year everyday on a new pair of glasses kept the fog off but RUINED my lenses and I had to buy new glasses be cautious ⚠️
It can on most. It depends on what coatings are on the lenses. I haven't heard anyone messing up their glasses with any of these products. So can't hurt to try
Unfortunately, these do not work as well with glasses with anti glare/reflective coatings. We learned that in the last video of this series: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html
It is said that if you smear shaving soap on your bathroom mirror, it won't fog up. Sure enough it worked. ..so why not smear your glass's before going out?
It works well if you have lenses with our coatings like Anti-Glare. The last video of this series shows us trying all these tips and tricks on lenses with coatings, and you'll see that the shaving cream did not work as well as we hoped.
Any product, even the best product that we have found, will eventually be wiped off. The best product that we found (you can see it in the last video made in this anti-fog series) still only last for about 2-3 days before I need to reapply. So that's why these cheaper options are nice, but keep in mind these products on this video is best on glasses without ant-glare coatings.
Anyone else mysteriously hearing little kids chanting cat crap cat crap giggling cat crap? Because I do. But then again I'm the aunty that would probably allow if not encourage it some. Until Grandma put her foot down anyway.
The red staff, the so-called No.1, doesn't work at all. Don't waste your money and efforts. In cold weather, it is completely useless. It might only work in warm weather, however, most of the lenses have films covered, which don't get fog in warm weather. (Just get the so-called red stuff and tried it).
It did work very well, but since we have used it longer we also realized that it works great for glasses without anti-glare coating, which is fine since 30% of glasses wearer do not request those coatings (at least for our office). For the other 70% of glasses wearers, Fog Stopper works great. Check out our last video in this series for that test!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html
I would be very concerned about using any of these products on expensive eyeglass lenses. Sadly the coatings on lens, even the very expensive coatings, can easily fail when exposed to chemicals. Once the coatings begin to fail the glasses are useless and appear scratched as the coatings come off.
You are correct. All the lenses that I used on this video were non-coated prescription lenses. This is why I made this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-njMLZ3AyXWs.html I did use each product on my own glasses before making these videos, and I have not had any issues. But if you do have an expensive coating on your lenses, then I guarantee that you also have a good 1-2 year warrantee on them as well, no questions asked. But, yes, you are right. You must be careful to use chemicals designed for coated lenses. This was just a fun experiment that I recommend to patients who do not have any coatings!
Lol, it's way easier making longer videos than short ones. But I'm not a fan of videos where you just have to take their word for it. So I wanted to make sure you saw how I did it without movie magic!
I'm a family man. My wife and kids are with me as mm ugh as possible, and to keep them out of every video was going to be impossible. So this was a good opportunity to bring them in for something silly and simple!
