How to Remove Graffiti from a Mural Protected with MuralShield™ and World's Best Graffiti Coating

When it comes to maintaining the beauty of your mural while effectively removing graffiti, it's essential to use the right products and techniques. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for removing graffiti from murals protected by MuralShield™ and World's Best Graffiti Coating and ensuring your artwork remains vibrant.

Step 1: Application of Graffiti Remover

Use Sensitive Surface Graffiti Remover or Heritage Graffiti Remover with a solvent-rated brush. Gently agitate the graffiti with your brush as you apply the product to ensure thorough coverage.

Step 2: Wipe Away the Graffiti

After allowing the remover to work, wipe away the dissolved graffiti using a damp cloth. This will help prevent any residual marks from remaining on the mural.

Step 3: Rinse and Protect

Once you are satisfied with the results, thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean water. Allow the surface to dry completely before reapplying two to three coats of World's Best Graffiti Coating using a spray, roller, or brush. This will provide ongoing protection against future graffiti.

If you're dealing with extensive graffiti, such as "bombs," heavy tagging, filled-in bubble writing, or murals that have been buffed or painted over, follow these steps for optimal results.

Step 1: Section Work

Divide the mural into manageable sections of 5-10 sq. ft. Apply Heritage Graffiti Remover using a pump-up sprayer, and agitate with a nylon brush or broom for effective penetration.

Step 2: Rinse with Pressure Washer

As the graffiti begins to dissolve, rinse the area with a pressure washer using a 25-degree tip. Maintain a distance of 6” - 12” from the mural surface to protect the acrylic paint layer while ensuring a thorough clean.

Step 3: Spot Clean Remaining Graffiti

For any residual graffiti, spot clean using Heritage Graffiti Remover or Sensitive Surface Graffiti Remover with a nylon bristle brush to effectively eliminate stubborn marks.

Step 4: Final Rinse

After all graffiti is removed, rinse the entire mural thoroughly with clean water. Wait 15-30 minutes for the surface to dry completely before proceeding.

Step 5: Reapply Protective Coating

Apply two coats of World's Best Graffiti Coating using a spray, roller, or brush. This step is crucial for maintaining the protective layer and enhancing the longevity of your mural.
