Product Use Instructions
Apply several coats of VANISH by brush, broom or spray onto the graffiti and allow several minutes dwell time between coats at least, but the longer you can leave it on the graffiti as a wet mess, then the better results and easier it will be to rinse away (just like soaking a burnt saucepan overnight). Agitate with a soft nylon brush between coats and rinse with a pressure washer, or scrubbing brush and water. The main thing is patience.
Paint removal can be tedious if you try to rush things. After all, you only want to do this job once, if possible. Ideally use 1500 – 2000 psi with a 15 or 25 degree fan jet at about 6 inches from the surface. Do not blast or use ‘turbo’ type nozzles which risk doing damage. When rinsing dissolved graffiti with a pressure washer, try to remove a LITTLE of the graffiti from the bottom of the tag without wetting the whole area. If satisfied, then proceed to full scale. Wash the whole area from top to bottom.
Remember If the remover has not done its job then no amount of ‘blasting’ will fix the problem. Failures are usually a result of not flood coating adequately and not leaving product on long enough and cannot be resolved by blasting too close or at higher pressures.
For removing carpet and tile glue Apply VANISH and leave on as long as needed. Scrape up as much dissolved glue as possible before pressure washing with hot water
CAUTION
Before commencing any large scale use, always test first in an inconspicuous area. This product is designed to remove all types of markers and stains, and may have an unpredictable or even damaging result on certain man-made or stained surfaces. If necessary wait for surface to dry to ensure perfect results.
TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS
Cold weather removals: Allow for longer dwell times in cold weather. Expect considerably slower reaction times in weather below 40° F / 5°C. Dwell times need to be 2 times longer to yield the same results, and it’s often helpful to leave product on much longer than that. It helps to keep the product indoors and even inside the car so that the products are at room temperature when you apply them. Use a hot water pressure washer / steam cleaner if possible. Sometimes it helps to use it to first heat up a section of graffiti before removing it
TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE USE OF VANISH GRAFFITI & PAINT REMOVER
TIP 1. Some spray cans such as reds, can stain building surfaces. Other spray cans change colors once VANISH has been applied. For complete and total removal of these
stains use our FELTPEN FADEOUT after, or while VANISH is still on the stain.
TIP 2. If you are fixing someone else’s former failure and may be having problems, then VANISH can be left overnight on the wall (if safe to do) ensuring maximum dwell time.
Return in the morning and the problem will usually be solved with another application and a pressure wash off
SAFETY ISSUES
VANISH is safe to use in comparison with many other removal products and does not give off any fumes. VANISH is non-flammable and does not require any special storage.
VANISH can irritate the skin and eyes and its intended use as a paint remover makes it more aggressive on skin and eyes than normal every day cleaners.Please review
1. Always wear solvent alkali protective gloves, goggles and long sleeve clothing.
2. Be sunsmart. Wear a wide brimmed hat; after all, you are outside.
3. Always know where water is available in case of a splash.
4. Carry a spare set of clothing. Do not leave contaminated clothing on.
5. Use in well-ventilated areas.
LIMITATIONS
• VANISH can occasionally mark aluminum or galvanized steel surfaces.
