What’s the Best Way to Remove Graffiti Without Damaging the Surface?

Removing graffiti the wrong way can cause more harm than good.

Why It’s Challenging:

Spray paint bonds tightly to a variety of surfaces, including:

– Vinyl

– Brick and stucco

– Painted wood

– Metal

Many surfaces are porous or textured, which traps pigment below the surface. High pressure can embed it further, and harsh chemicals can discolor or damage the finish.

The Professional Solution:

A proper removal process includes:

– A graffiti remover formulated for the material

– Time for chemical dwell and reaction

– Low-pressure rinsing and surface-safe agitation

– No bleach, scrubbing, or acid-based etching

This method eliminates the paint without leaving shadows or damage. It’s safer, faster, and more effective than DIY methods.
