2. Graffiti is commonplace around the world and has even gained street art status in the eyes of millions. But unless you’ve given outright consent, any graffiti on your property is nothing but vandalism. Although most graffiti can be removed using soapy water or basic cleaning solutions, some amount of damage to the surface is unavoidable. This damage can even be permanent as the surface’s character can change as a result of the paint’s action. Because of this, permanent graffiti removalcan become very hard, if not impossible. Here are some graffiti removal tips

3. GRAFFITI REMOVAL Metal Surfaces Paint can be cleaned off metal surfaces more efficiently than all other surfaces, except glass. The most effective way is to scrub the paint off using a paint thinner. Paint thinners include lacquer thinner, mineral spirits and acetone. Wooden Surfaces You could try removing the graffiti by wiping the wooden surface using mineral spirits, provided the wood is not the weathered kind and has been sealed with stain, sealer or paint. You could also try a power-wash at high pressure for wooden surfaces.

4. GRAFFITI REMOVAL Plastic Surfaces Most people prefer to replace the affected part, rather than try removing the graffiti, as plastic is cheap. However, if replacing is not possible or expensive, you can use highly fine bronze or steel wool to rub away the paint.  Glass Surfaces removing graffiti is easy when it’s a glass surface. Almost all paint can be scraped off the glass surface using a fine razor blade.  You can use highly fine bronze wool and water to softly rub off the paint.

5. GRAFFITI REMOVAL Masonry The most effective way to remove graffiti from masonry is to give it a power-wash at high pressure. If that doesn’t work, sand-blasting should do the trick. There are also certain industrial graffiti removal products that you can use to remove the graffiti from a stone, concrete or brick surface.
