Specifications for Rapid Removal - Professional Ink & Paint Graffiti Remover
I eat graffiti for breakfast.
Rapid Removal is a super-powered blend of low-odour solvents combined with a unique activating agent which quickly and easily removes paint and ink-based graffiti including aerosol paint, felt tip permanent marker pens, ballpoint pens and more. The formula is slightly thickened to give you the cling factor on vertical surfaces allowing the chemical to work on the graffiti more effectively.
Where to use
Rapid Removal is designed for removing graffiti from indoor and outdoor surfaces including... natural stone, brickwork, concrete, glass, fibreglass, various types of metals and timber.
Where not to use
Rapid Removal is not suitable for use on aluminium, plastic, laminate, vinyl, linoleum, asphalt tile, rubber tile, floor sealer and painted surfaces.
The benefits
• One product does all. Works on almost all surfaces and graffiti types.

• Fast acting. Removes graffiti in 2-3 minutes.
• Free rinsing. Requires high-pressure water rinse only.

Rapid Removal is ready to use. Do not dilute.
1. Your safety comes first. Wear personal protection equipment (ie. gloves, goggles etc)
2. Always test first in an inconspicuous area before use.
3. Use neat. The product is ready to use.
4. Apply to a dry surface using a brush. Scrub it into the surface to assist penetration and cleaning performance.
5. Allow 2-5 minutes of dwell time on the surface. Do not allow it to dry.
6. Agitate with a stiff brush or scourer if necessary. For glass and sensitive surfaces, use a soft brush or non-scratch scourer that is suitable for the surface.
7. For stubborn graffiti, repeat steps 4-6 another 1 or 2 times, or until you can see the graffiti is completely removed.
8. High-pressure rinse off with water (a low-pressure hose can also be used along with a brush, scourer or broom). Ensure runoff is not left to dry on other surfaces as staining may occur. Ensure drains are protected and excess runoff is disposed of correctly in accordance with local regulations.
9. To ensure no residues remain on the surface you’ve just treated, clean the area with a neutral cleaner like Bobby Dazzler or Bonza as a final step.
Handy tips
• Get onto graffiti when it's fresh. The sooner you can get onto it, the easier and faster it is to remove it.
• Rapid Removal is not suitable for painted surfaces because it is a paint remover. It will remove the graffiti but will also remove some of the paint and so re-painting may be necessary and is normal practice when doing graffiti removal from painted surfaces.
• Always test first in an inconspicuous area before using any cleaning solution. Play it safe, especially when you use a product for the first time. Better to be safe than sorry. Some surfaces can be sensitive to moisture and particular chemical types.
• For severe or difficult graffiti that is not completely removed repeat the process and extend the dwell time. There are some circumstances where re-painting is required.
• Coverage rates will vary depending on the texture and porosity of the surface as well as your application method but on average 1 litre of Rapid Removal will clean a 15-20m² area of medium-density graffiti.
• Always rinse the surface thoroughly with water after use.
Is Rapid Removal pet friendly?
No. Do not allow pets near the area being treated until you are finished and treated surfaces are rinsed and dry.
Is Rapid Removal septic safe?
No. This product is very heavy duty. It is generally used when all else fails :)
Will it strip or dull a painted surface?
Yes it will. Rapid Removal is not suitable for painted surfaces because it is a paint remover. It will remove the graffiti but will also remove some of the paint and so re-painting may be necessary and is normal practice when doing graffiti removal from painted surfaces.
