Just clean them by hand they don't take long i used to clean 40 a day.
The hardest part is getting rid of the graffiti

Hi
once you`ve got them cleaned to the stantard you want them. They should be easy to keep on top of them. Make sure you have a contract on paper stating when you will be paid ie 7 days from date of invoice, or 30 days, I do some work for local gov and find it hard to get money from them. But i do get paid. So make sure you state your terms and cons. All the best Michael D

For graffitti try a product called "Graffitti Go", it is environmentally friendly and works well, you will have to do a google search for the suppliers though, I quite often remove graffitti at a supermarket I di, it works on painted surfaces, brickwork etc

Used to do about 40 in & around the Peterborough area a good few years ago. Boy it could be a nasty job, amazing how many people thought it was a smart thing to do to gob on them.

You have to be careful on plexiglass as it will blow the plastic ( Turn it cloudy white)
For this we used delta chewing gum remover as it does remove graffiti aswell but does not blow the plastic as easily.
Easy to use spray on and with a cloth rub straight away until graffiti is gone should only take 5 -10 seconds.
Then straight away wash the plastic with soapy water to dilute the chemicals.
If you leave it even for a few minutes thats the plexiglass knackered.

Some councils still own some bus shelters especially non ad types you can always ring these and ask for the person in charge of cleaning street furniture.
