Graffiti Removal

[One Tough Pressure]

I am working on a graffiti project that is not giving the results that I have gotten in the past,
I tried the paint remover from Klenztone and it helped to speed things up, but still gave the same results as hot water. Also tried goof off as I heard good things about that. Still not great results.
Did soda blasting with the limited media I had on hand, but that was not the greatest either.
Will be going back tomorrow and trying some MEK as well as the Savogram Strypeze, Graffiti Remover from Klean Strip and BIX extra strength.
Has anyone used a product that is locally available in most places and completely removed paint from cinderblock?

Just a little note, I did tell the customer that it may not all come off, and he is fine with that and happy with the results, but I am not happy. This paint sat on the wall for nearly a year and got to bake in. I want perfection, this is the pool area of a new apartment complex, and people will be staring at that wall until the vines grow in a couple years.

I don't know much about the subject for I haven't done any graffiti removal. I know a few years back though my father's real estate office got tagged pretty good in the back where nobody saw it. When we did find it, it had been there for at least a month or two already. We used some paint stripper (not paint remover or thinner) that my dad used to strip antique furniture when he was refinishing it. It took the spray paint off pretty well with and application a scrub brush and some hot water from the hose. Maybe try that but I gurantee nothing.

No time to order anything, but what is the name, so I know for next time?

Graffiti Whip by Prosoco should do the trick at $50 a gallon.

You can come out and get the gallon I have if you want to.

I trust your cash as much as the next guys!

I'm done with this wall. Not how I wanted it to look when finished, but the guy is happy. I have done graffiti before, but not any that has sat on the wall for an extended period of time, baking in the sun.
None of the products that I listed above had any signifigant impact, so I will be looking for a quality one that really works for the next time.

Not sure of the name.....but Bob knows what it is. I put it on with a roller...its too thick to spray with a pump up.

James,
Are you saying that even Taginator will not get it all off, since it is so porous? Make what into Artwork? Graffiti is no art, it is vandalism and the taggers should be ... Well I will keep my Medievel thoughts to myself on this one.

Get a couple of frames and hang them over the graffitti. Now you have a piece of Art ? Cinderblock is very tuff. You will have shadows. Or you will get impressions from pressure. It has to be done pronto !!
