Types of
Graffiti
Paint crayon and marker vary widely in chemical composition. Generally speaking blue and green colors can be more difficult to remove than red or black. The thicker and older the marks, the harder/longer you need to work to remove them. Agitation with a non-abrasive nylon brush or polyester scrub pad will speed removal. Since Graffiti Gone is water based, if a second application is needed it can be done immediately. If you are not sure the product has soaked enough, agitate it gently to see if the graffiti is loose enough to be rinsed. If not let it soak longer before rinsing.
Nature of surface to be treated

Textured surfaces are harder to clean, take longer soaking times and may leave a ghost or shadow unless the proper product is used. A water based remover like Graffiti Gone is better suited than a solvent based remover for these porous surfaces, though they may take a little longer to soak.

Smooth surfaces clean more easily, but painted walls and delicate areas, such as traffic signs or plastic, may need special gentle products that will not the surface. Gentle agitation or hot water and or pressurized
rinse should be used to speed the process of removal. On indoor surfaces wipe with a damp rag or sponge and rinse the rag or sponge frequently.
 

 

Environment

Temperature can impact removal of marks. The recommended temperature is between 60°F to 100°F (or 16°C to 30°C). If it is too hot the product evaporate too fast. If it is too cold, the product takes to long to work. Remember that the temperature of the surface is more important| than the temperature of the air. In the summer work in the early morning when there is some shade on the target area. If the surface is hot try to water down the surface to cool them down before applying the product. In the winter do the opposite, work on sunny afternoons when the target area has had a chance to warm up.

How to choose the right product.

Graffiti Gone and Graffiti Block usually work on many surfaces from unpainted brick to trees. It is strongly recommended that you follow all directions. You can contact Multi-Seal Technical Support Team for assistance (1-626-282-5659, Pacific Time).

One issue that you should be aware of that solvents in spray paint and permanent markers can damage painted or soft surfaces. After the remover cleans off the marks the damage will remain. Soft Plexiglas and vinyl are surfaces that are hard to remove marks from. If the graffiti chemically bonds or soaks into the surface, total removal in impossible without removing part of the surface, like water based latex paint. Delicate surfaces are frequently better served by using anti-graffiti sealers like Graffiti-Block.

These coatings prevent graffiti from even touching the surface.

When in doubt follow these 3 rules.

  1. Test in a inconspicuous area
  2. Use lowest water pressure
  3. Send email to multiseal and explain your problem.
