How does a person protect their bus exterior walls from graffiti vandals? Kids in the city are using spray paint, marking pens, and writing their code names on delivery trucks, business walls... Is there a paint protection that can be used so the graffiti can be wiped off? Thanks. | ||

Contact your local transit authority. They a lot of practice at this sort of stuff. | ||

There is a company in Riverside, Ca that specializes in preping new transits for service and this is one of their specialties. Contact me off the board and I'll give u their name and website, since it is a commercial venture that does not advertise here. | ||

You can oil (wd 40) the outside and just wipe off the decorative graffittiiiiiie whever it's been applied over the wd 40..... Use a "city street" theme and welcome the graffiti...... Use "purple power" to take it off after it's been applied. You can also try pouring boiling oil off the roof while they're trying to paint the graffiti.... Driving away before they can take the top off the spray can... Use a high power fan or blower that's motion activated, to blow wind across the sides of the bus.... ....... more? | ||

James, Feel free to publish the name of a web site. It's always been allowed here. Especially if it's a recommendation based on personal experience. There are hundreds of links buried within these messages. What might be considered inappropriate is someone flogging their own product without having an ad here. Ian www.busnut.com | ||

Ahh, I have clearance. www.transitsales.com One of their specialties is graffiti protection products. I have dealt with them before, although not for graffiti protection. | ||

Makarov!!!!!Hell, just throw big rocks at 'em. But you will get their attention w/ the chambering of that Remington. | ||

the folks who make POR-15 (www.por15.com) makes a product called "glisten" that is supposed to allow you to wipe paint (etc) off with solvents and not harm the finish. At least that was how it is advertised in the Por-15 catalog. I thought it was neat. http://www.por15.com/product.asp?productid=246 Lorna | ||

carbarator cleaner works well at removing old grafitti and brake cleaner removes fresh without removing the top layer of your paint. Just don/t get your eyes. | ||

"...brake cleaner removes fresh without removing the top layer of your paint." I would be very careful using brake fluid. I once accidentally splashed some on the fender of a brand new chevy chevette. It ruined the paint instantly. Left a spot every place the fluid hit it. | ||

brake cleaner works on fresh (24 hour) grafitti and is fairly mild on paints. I would not use BRAKE FLUID either as it will lift the paint long after you clean it up. The two chemicals are nothing alike. | ||

Wow, Glisten looks like great stuff (posted above). Has anyone used it? | ||

When we were young vandals the worst thing you could ever do to someones car was pour brake fluid on it. It would totally ruin paint job. | ||

Brake Fluid vs. Brake Cleaner..... I missed that subtle difference in the above post.... |
