Why choose anti-fog film for your mirrors? 🌧️

Anti-fog film is a thin protective layer applied directly to a vehicle's mirrors. Designed to prevent condensation from building up, it ensures clear, unobstructed vision, even in wet or humid conditions. Here are its key benefits:

  • 🌦️ Optimum visibility in all conditions: with anti-fog film, there's no need to get out a squeegee or wipe your mirrors with a tissue. The surface remains clear, so you can ride with complete peace of mind, whatever the conditions;
  • ⏳Save time and stress: On busy mornings, there's no need to stop and wipe your mirrors. The anti-fog film does the job for you, so you can concentrate on your commute;
  • 💰An economical, long-lasting solution: Rather than replacing your mirrors with expensive heated models, opt for anti-fog film. A smart investment to extend the life of your mirrors.

How to clean and apply anti-fog film? 🛠️

Installing anti-fog film on your mirrors is a simple operation, but to guarantee optimum results and a long service life, certain precautions must be taken.

A suitable environment 🛠️

  • Avoid windy or dusty areas: Dust particles can settle on the surface during installation, creating bubbles under the film. Place your car in a garage, for example;
  • Choose a well-lit area: this will enable you to easily spot traces, dust or air bubbles during application;
  • Ideal temperature: between 15 and 25°C. Too low a temperature could harden the film and complicate application, while too high a temperature could alter the adhesive.


Mirror preparation 🧼

Before applying the film, make sure the surface is perfectly clean. Use a microfiber cloth withsoapy water to remove any dirt, dust or traces of grease. Cleanliness is the key to bubble-free installation!

Cutting the anti-fog film ✂️

Adapt the film to the size of your mirrors. Some models come pre-cut, but if not, take scissors and carefully adjust the film.

Application of anti-fog film🧴

Spray a littlesoapy water on the rear-view mirror to make it easier to apply the anti-fog film. Then peel off the film's protective layer and gently apply it to the surface. Use a squeegee to remove any air bubbles.


Adopt a good application technique ✅

  • Don't touch the adhesive side of the film: your fingers could leave marks that will be visible once the film has been applied;
  • Remove the protective film slowly: Do this as you go along to prevent the film from sticking to itself;
  • Apply the film gradually: start on one side and smooth gently with the squeegee to avoid creases or air bubbles.


Use the right tools 🔧

  • A flexible squeegee: Ideal for removing air bubbles without damaging the film;
  • Soapy water: A spray bottle of slightly soapy water helps to reposition the film during installation..;
  • A cutter: To cut the film to the exact size of the retro.
