seen graffiti removal been done on tv the other night. think it was grimebusters.

Aparantly some colours are harder to remove than other. Whites and silvers are easier and darker colours like red and balck are tough buggers.

And theres quite a few different chems you have to use too. speicaly on painted walls, doors, wood work, metal etc.

thats all i know about that :)

Hi Derek

If you can get steam from your TM then you could do it with that rather than the pressure washer.
Getting graffiti off with cold water is a long winded process but with steam it is a doddle.

You will need some sort of ghost remover (the shadowing left when the graffiti has gone) and some graffiti remover (Tensid do both products).

It can be done with cold, but hot is better and quicker. With steam you often don't need the graffiti remover at all, just the ghost stuff.
