From the latest edition of Which? magazine :
"... we were interested to hear about two new graffiti removers - Nitromors Graffiti Buster (£8.50 for 500ml) and Briwax Graffiti Wipe (£7.70 for 500ml) from DIY and hardware shops. We tested how well they removed typical aerosol gloss from a range of surfces compared with white spirit, methylated spirit and cellulose thinners. Both did better than the conventional alternatives, which were all messier to apply.
With both products, you spray them on, leave, and wipe off. Graffiti Buster is faster - ten minutes, compared with 20 for Graffiti Wipe. Neither had any problems cleaning graffiti off a painted car panel, bare aluminium sheet or glass. Both also worked quite well on concrete, though they left marks where the graffiti had been. For brick, the Graffiti Buster peerformed slightly better - Graffiti Wipe left some staining. The results wewren't so good on basre wood because the paint soaked into it and wasn't fully removed. On plaster, both cleaners either damaged or completely removed the emulsion paint. For wood and plaster, it may be better to paint over the graffiti.
Verdict. Both products are easier to use and more effective than conventional cleaners. Thereay be times when repainting is the best answer, though."
