If you have ever had a wall, fence, or anything else TAGed or Grafittied you know the absolute unsightly appearence it brings. If you don't get rid of it quick it could encourage other TAGGERs to use your property as their very own Canvass

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

High Pressure Washer
Turbo Nozzel
Graffiti Removing Chemical

Step 1

Purchase a quality Graffiti Removal Chemical.
I use Taginator

Spray the chemical on with a hand sprayer or garden sprayer depending on how much area you need to cover.

This chemical is some what expensive but you will be pleased with the results.
Step 2

After letting the chemical dwell on the area for about 30 minutes use a high pressure washer to rinse off I suggest using the 15deg (yellow) tip and if you are cleaning a hard surface such as brick, cinderblock, concrete, or other hard surface you may decide to use a turbo nozzle.
Step 3

Rinse and repeat as needed.

The chemical is the key pressure washing alone may work but, usually it does not.

The other options to removing graffiti are:

Sand Blasting
Painting
Dry Ice Blasting

The chemical is the easiest way and cost efficiant.

Tips & Warnings

Test on small area first
Start carefully until you find the right nozzel for the job
LET the chemical Dwell for 30 minutes / rinse too soon and your wasting $$$ on chemical gone to waste
Be careful not to use the wrong tip and pressure
