GRAFFITI CLEANER A bus in Italy, covered with an adhesive polyesther film, was coated with Enamo Grip Clear. The graffiti is easily removed when cleaned with SPI’s Graffiti Cleaner. The Graffiti Cleaner worked much faster than competing products, and the finished surface was left in pristine condition. SPI’s Graffiti Cleaner should be tested for compatibility with any surface being cleaned. Although Graffiti Cleaner is strong on graffiti, it did not harm the rubber seals around the windows and doors.
