GOLDEN TIP

Graffiti removal from murals painted with acrylic type paints should be performed carefully with Sensitive Surface Graffiti Remover (SSGR).


Test a tiny area first to ascertain if success can be achieved. If so, then brush on and softly agitate with the brush small areas at a time.


Wipe off the dissolved graffiti with a DAMP CLOTH or rinse carefully with a hand sprayer filled with water and a damp cloth.


The sooner you get to the job the better. If you’re lucky enough to be able to clean the graffiti within 72 hours after graffiti has occurred this approach is very likely to be successful.
