    Every time I remove my graffiti it is back on there just as quick.  Why should I keep removing it?

     
    It has been proven that rapid removal lengthens the time between graffiti attacks.  Experience indicates that where graffiti is left for some period, repeat attacks will invariably follow. Prompt removal deprives illegal graffiti artists the satisfaction of peer recognition.

     Can I remove graffiti myself?
     There are many myths going around about how you can remove graffiti with things such as fly spray and methylated spirits but some of these 'home remedies' can actually make the problem worse.  It can actually push the graffiti into the pores of the substrate.  Techni-Clean's graffiti removal products actually draw the graffiti out of the surface.

     How much does it cost?

     What is the advantage of anti graffiti coatings?
     Anti graffiti coatings can be an economical means to keeping your surface free of graffiti. An anti grafffiti coating makes it easier to remove graffiti as it provides a barrier between your surface and the graffiti.

    Why should I seal?

     Techni-Clean's cleaning and sealing removed oil, rust, grass, paint, tar, ground in dirt, mould and efflorescence.  Sealing beautifies and enhances the original colour of your surface with the choice of either a wet or natural look, while protecting against oil and dirt.  Sealing your surface also makes it easier to clean.  Our sealant range won't peel or yellow and is resistant to calcium.

     What does it do?
     Sealing helps slow down the absorption of spillages giving you time to clean the spill before it is soaked into the surface. Once this happens it became extremely difficult to remove. Sealing can also be for aesthetics.

    How long will it last?

     Sealing will last 3-5 years depending on how the surface is maintanined and also on the traffic flow over the surface
