Tagaway will remove tags over previously painted surfaces, normally without destroying the painted surface underneath. The exceptions to that last statement is if the original painted surface was not prepped properly before the top coat of paint was applied. Other factors are in the original painted surface is a latex paint, the tag has been on for more than a couple months (especially here in AZ when the tag has been baked by the sun). Most spray paints are enamel, and the enamel bonds very well to latex undercoats.
Taganator works extremely well on bare concrete and masonry walls. Spray, let dwell for 10-15 minutes then wash off. No shadowing and no graffiti.
The cavas surface on the trailer above was one of the most challanging projects I have ever done. Tagaway was the only solution, and have to apply several times, hand scrub and wipe aff. Did a final wash with my fleet wash product, then applied a thick coat of finish spray wax to help prevent further tagging from adhering as well.
Waiting to hear back from the GC. I have offered to install a battery/solar operated motion detection security system on the trailer for him. The system I have installed before will call the Police, the GC and send a text message anytime the motion detector has been activated more than 3 times within 1 minute. The cost of this system is close to what I charged for the initial graffiti removal project.
I don't mind cleaning the graffiti off their trailer once a week, but I have found that GC's appreciate the suggestions of other options to secure their properties. I have an electrician buddy who I sub out the security instals, and we both make $$$ off that service also.
Goof Off is a good product, but will also melt the underlying paint under the graffiti. Goof Off is a petroleum solvent. I prefer to use environmentally friendlier products, like Tagaway or Taginator. They are bio degradable/ environmentally friendly, just make sure you wear gloves, eye protection and try not to inhale the product.
