Ok I use their product with a chem sprayer but it wouldn’t get into The pours of the bricks what am I doing wrong?
Are you agitating?
What’s your process? Toss that dewalt surface cleaner and use a 40 or turbo nozzle

And what dwell time have you given it? Have you used a surfactant?
I let it sit until it was almost dried and used a broom just as they suggested, I went over that area several times tried a surface cleaner and a lance it took a bunch off but not all of it … luckily this is a friend of mine that owns the business and not a customer
The company told me not to mix anything with it

Break out the turbo nozzle. Heat would definitely be beneficial. What psi,gpm are you using?
I stole this off there web site
Zoom in on the trailer. Do you see what I see ?

I’m using 4000 psi they said it could be done with cold and yeah I see it I guess I’m gonna have to rent one for a day
Try smart strip it’s a paste works every time. If you can find the paper to cover it even better. I thinks its durmond product
For the money you spent ,and as proud as they are of there products, you better believe I’d be calling in a complaint and sending before and afters, if you did everything by the book.

I’ve read here where @Sharpe had to put in a surfactant in I believe this very lroduct your using to get it to work. Not sure if he used hotwater tho.
Edit
From the link at top " remove paint off of brick" he wrote
“We did one downtown last month with similar results. Multiple applications and increased dwell time got rid of it. I ended up using some surfactant. I also kept it wet. I think the amount of time that the paint has been on the brick plays a huge part In your aproch. My dwell time ended up being over an hour. The paint had been there for a long time.
We used taginator, cold water, turbo nozzle @4k 4gpm.”
@Mike11 I used it exactly as they said, I did treat it several times with aalot of the remover and agitate with a deck brush then I just rinsed it away…it was concrete and it came completely Clean…I have read that if it leaves a ghosting appearance of the original graffiti there is something else that will remove the rest…i want to say it was the felt pen remover but check out their tutorials to be sure
@Hotshot its 100% guaranteed to work says so on the website😁 maybe a bad batch…as much as it costs I would have been pissed too if it didn’t work

yeah I’m gonna call them Monday thanks for the help!
Hey there depending on the surface I’d say you need some real graffiti remover like World best graffiti or some other high end brand, I’ve been using Worlds best for over 8 years now it’s the best I’ve tried so far. Without hot water this can be difficult but still easily done with the product. Also if it’s on a painted surface just match the paint and paint over. Basically 80% of my graffiti removal is paint overs now.
I figured I would bump this thread instead of starting a new one.
What are people’s thoughts on these old tags? Customer says some of it has been there for a few years.
There are also a bunch of chalk drawings on other parts of the school. I’m guessing those should come out with just water and a little pressure?
I see it as easy, may need to hit it with pressure. I wonder if you could use alcohol to soften it up before pressure. I use alcohol for pen ink when it gets on clothes, and imside dryer. Recently used it to remove acrylic paint.
Taginator will almost surely work. It’s like $70 a gallon and you use it undiluted. You spray it on, wait a few mins then high pressure rinse. Easy money.
Hmm, I might try ordering their sample pack. I doubt I would need much for this project. $29 for a quart each of Taginator and Tagaway (for smooth surfaces), and they give you a $25 credit towards a future order.
I’ve got no idea how I should price for this. I’m guessing people typically try and get more for graffiti removal than they do for standard pressure washing, since it’s more of a specialty.
