Pressure washer with capabiliy of adding chemicals to water stream.
Like a tank, or such. Add about 1 lb. of ordinary househld baking soda
to two gallons of hot water in tank.(Or use 5 lb. to 5 gallons in ank.)
Introduce that solution into water stream and clean with the pressure
washer. Sometmes a good foamy dgreaser along with the baking
soda slution helps.
The baking soda does not ully dissolve, and has a mild granular
abrasive action.
Its important to do ths soon after the graffiti is applied.
Longer you wait, the harder it is to remove.
I do this (graffiti removal) with a local group of volunteers in
our parks, where so many "artistes" trash stuff.
