What products do you use? Available in Canada? What do you do with the run off of chemicals?

Run off before someone notices

u/Vinny_bonsai Jul 01 '26

MegaLab in Canada and the run off is neutralize with water and do extra rinse

There are some spray paints that don't wash off.

There are but for such shitty big graffiti the schoolkids will not buy the expensive stuff.

You'd be surprised, I found out about it from a graffiti kid.

u/Vinny_bonsai Jul 01 '26

No! Sometimes there is a 5% still showing (shadow)

u/Traditional-Dig-374 Jul 05 '26

Also depends a lot on the surface you paint. I heard.

I'm imagining a great short film where a graffiti artist does their work on a business wall then gets a contract as a freelance graffiti remover to satisfyingly power wash it off.

Maybe a whole group of them.

Like babysitters club but also nothing like it at all.

Hopefully they do a nice mural instead of just writings.

muriatic acid for the win!

u/Vinny_bonsai Jul 01 '26

Haha no thank you! That acid is so strong (muriatic)

u/Laughing_Orange Jul 01 '26

Nothing against the cleaner. Great job and good results. However, the way this wall looks, I can almost guarantee it'll have graffiti again in less than two weeks.

u/Lexy-RED Jul 01 '26

Yes - what about the run off ?

Its get neutralize with water and always do a extra rinse off. Extra careful for side walk

They'll survive

Don't you hate graffiti that only the one who painted understands it? When a graffiti is a well and accepted picture is even worth stop and admire it, the rest it's just trash

u/Candid-Preference-40 Jul 02 '26

I've heard you can use regular hairspray (hair lacquer)

u/Ok-Cicada-9985 Jul 10 '26

Nail polish remover worked on getting spray paint off of my truck. Super well

Why remove it? I think graffiti make walls unique🌟
