Getting Rid Of That Ugly Graffiti With Steam Power!

#graffitiremoval #satisfying #prestigeexternalcleaning
Hey everyone. A day late with my weekly posting due to broadband issues 😕. This was a job I carried out the same time last year, but thought i'd lost some of the footage (any of you that follow me on instagram may recognise it)
I was really annoyed at myself for losing a lot of the footage, and that I wasn't able to show it last year, as recording these videos, repositioning the camera, changing the batteries over etc, can really add time to any job, so just felt like a huge waste of time when I thought I couldn't post it.
But.....after going through some of my old files recently, I found the missing footage mixed in with an old roof cleaning video, woohoo, I can now post the video! Better late than never.
So this this is quite good timing, and follows on quite nicely from last weeks video, another graffiti removal job using an Ibix media blaster. This job shows what I was trying to achieve before i had to bring in the Ibix. I wonder if any of you will notice that i'm over the other side of the train tracks to where I recently cleaned the Ibix Video?
Hope you enjoy, cheers, Nick.

Good Morning Nick 😊Prangs a new one for me 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s amazing how you make things disappear like magic. Fantastic job as always ❤

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hi Randi, many thanks as usual 🥰. I think it might be a word only used here in the UK. I've heard it used before when people refer to a car crash, thanks again 💕

[@ricp123]

Smashed that mate, the best thing is, the little buggers will do it again next week 🤣👍

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

Nick...I think the black graffiti took more effort due to several things. The PRANG graffiti was sprayed on at a distance, therefore less concentration of actual paint. The black graffiti was sprayed on at close range, and the paint more concentrated. Regardless, you came in and did the job!!! 🌟Always complete the job as requested!!! The sad part is...they will probably have re- tagged those locations within a month. And....gloves, Nick. Great video. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@scraverX]

I agree with you on the black graffiti.. pigment load, colour (black is a stronger pigment) and surface penetration would be contributing factors.

[@Corvidae65]

Great work, Nick! Seems like there is an opportunity to offer anti-graffiti coatings to your clients.

[@georginacoote3831]

😂the "P" has nearly gone,no pun intended great job nick❤

[@valeriesinnett4031]

You are going to be the most popular guy in town removing graffiti like that 😊

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Sir Nick, I walked the tunnel this morning to catch the Metro. It looks like the walls on the pedestrian side of the tunnel were "Hammered" there are big holes in the cement walls all down the tunnel and it also looks like they slap dash painted down the spray paint. Whomever they've got cleaning might not like their job. The entire length of the tunnel wall is chipping and crumbling apart. There is green grass above a portion of the tunnel and a roadway over the other half. Now we wait to see how long it takes the tunnel to get tagged once again.

[@colleenisaac6647]

Great job! I see you took my advice about a new “revenue stream” for your business! 🤣

[@adriancarter825]

Hate graffiti it’s moronic but it adds to your income so it does do some good

[@CatLoverX74]

Prang?? 🤨 What’s prang?! 😂 Maybe they forgot the S for sprang 😆 I’m liking the graffiti jobs. Nice change of pace. You couldn’t even tell it was ever there after you were done. Great job Nick! ❤

[@EricaMTB]

A prang is a car accident.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Awesome, thanks Rebecca 😍

[@fartknockers]

👍's up for the real time cleaning. It shows a good contrast with some of the sped up footage so you can really see the cleaning take effect and get an idea how long it takes.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Yes! Thank you!

[@xxBlazinBobxx]

Fantastic result! Feels good to see this visual trash removed! New subscriber to help support your work!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

A huge thank you 👍, welcome on board

[@alinaCatwatcher]

When it comes to pressure washing everyone else is 2nd to you. The jobs you do are always so professional no matter the effort. Thanks for sharing!!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Aw, what a lovely thing to say Alina, thank you so much 😍

[@adriancarter825]

Great job never would know it had ever been there

[@Dean734]

Wow really awesome job 👍

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you so much 😀

[@patsampson6990]

Color me impressed! That was weirdly satisfying!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks Pat 😍

[@roughmzin2510]

What an ‘eraser’. 😄 It’s hypnotic to see how the letters are just gone.

[@tatjanadosch1583]

Such nice work 😊 Grafftity removal is especially satisfying, since I hate them very much. These are very good examples for that they have no real meaning at all, just blind vandalism... I can't even read the third one properly oô And the first one, 'prang', what do they mean, a car crash?? At least the dictionary suggests something like that... The black and the white one had thicker paint than the purple one, so quite some effort was needed, but that doesn't stop Magic Nick 🎉 Thanks for more music!

[@keithrogers2107]

good job done,you will never be out of work !!

[@binflynn1]

Great job even the green box 👍

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Cheers mate 👍

[@Corryoncleaning]

This all came up really well! Great job. Just a bit of curiosity, how come you don’t have a signed up van? Thanks Nick.

[@ShansAtlantis]

The black paint has a darker pigment than the purple/blue one, which is why it took more work to remove it… these videos are very satisfying, Nick… I like the graffiti and jet washing different things.

[@yips_way]

yeah, that black paint was on thicker too. Plus I don't think all the traffic grime would have helped either as once cleaned it was noticeably brighter - similar to the rear walls. 👍

[@tonicorona5277]

Very nice work and different from usual but still love your work!

[@sandrashelton3418]

Nice job

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@colingray7107]

Another brilliant job 👏👏👏

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you so much mate 😀

[@kevinwall795]

Great job. Very satisfying.

[@GNEClean]

1st class as always!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks bud 😀

[@Vimby233]

Another great job! Unlike a lot of jobs at least you can see when you’re doing it right and making a difference.

[@diegovd7215]

Sweet! Good job!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Snargfargle]

Good work on removing that graffiti. I actually used the word "prang" once in conversation when I saw a small plane come down hard and bend its landing gear at a private airport ("He really pranged that gear"). It's not a commonly-used word here in the US, though and I don't actually recall where I learned its meaning. My great uncle flew bombers out of England during WWII so I might have heard it from him.

[@gloriabradley5660]

Another job well done ❤😮😊

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you! 😄

[@thebincleaner]

Nice work Nick....or should I say "Nit" haha check your subtitles as soon as video starts pal 🤣

[@sheilam4525]

Great job done again, Nick👏

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks so much Sheila ❤️

[@user-bc4gf5yx8h]

Awesome clean up! You really know your stuff. Excellent job!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

So kind, thanks so much 😍

[@user-du8hu8dm5b]

Amazing job.! 👍 great work Sir.!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks a lot!

[@Christine-kp8kf]

Great job as usual. And I love your background music. 🎶. It’s always so soothing

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Awesome, thanks Christine 👍

[@Rapha2587]

You're so skillful, there's nothing you can't clean 😊 Now, those "graffiti artists" don't usually give up, unfortunately. I would just paint the lower bricks charcoal; it looks beautiful, and being a dark colour, if it happens again, you just need to paint it over, no sweat.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thanks so much Rapha, that's very kind of you 😍

[@kashihd2188]

This was soooo satisfying, literally made me feel happier after a long week 😅

[@kashihd2188]

Side note, did you have to do specific training to use these chemicals or can almost anyone use them? I think some of the work you’ve done has been council etc so I imagine they’d be pretty hot on certificates etc. thanks for all the content!!

[@polgarauk5606]

Very imaginative these 'taggers' 🙄😂 The second one was probably so hard because it was black paint, not quite the same thing but I remember when the kids had been 'painting' at school almost crying when I saw black or red paint on their Clothes it was always a nightmare and sometimes impossible to get it all out 😢 super clean bit of wall by the time you had finished tho 😂😂 Hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend, hope the next week is good too. Good vibes my way would be lovely as I am trying to stop smoking with all the stress of daily life need all the help I van get 🤣🤣 trying new type of patch as I am very allergic to the normal patches. I am on 8 hour mark as I write this so better than expected so far 🤣🤣 Love and hugs from all of my lot and me oop norf 😊🤗

[@Vimby233]

Wishing you strength in kicking the smoking, it will be worth it in the end. You’ve got this!

[@Standard_Jay]

Great job. Alas I suspect you might get some repeat business now they have a blank canvas again

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Many thanks Jay 👍

[@ChaiLatte13]

Very nice!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@deborahgallagher-vu5hl]

I remember Prang water colors that came in a black metal box. That was in the 50’s & 60’s.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thanks

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you too

[@nannybannany]

A different kind of paint could be why it was harder? The purple looked "rushed" so not as thick/pigmented?

[@hanbakker3169]

compliments from a college in Holland 😃

[@andrewpowell6457]

Prang nope just a prat.🙃 Fantastic as always Nick

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

🤣 Cheers Andrew 👍

[@TheLadymoonstone]

Wow great job, i was wondering which colour is the most difficult to remove?? Or is it more about which paint is used? love your work. Cheers from the pacific northwest. Canada side.

[@TheDoogan88]

What size pressure washer do you use especially when using the flat plate Nice videos by the way

[@Powershiftcleaning]

Another interesting vid. Can you tel me please how you go about pricing this kinda thing. No I’ve been running steam for a year I feel I’d like to approach my local authority and get my foot in the door. Thanks Ja

[@1977JohnBoy]

probably the best earners these ones aint they?

[@russ3994]

Hi Nick Great job amazing how well it comes up afterwards looks like new well done ! what is the stuff you used on the graffiti again Nick ?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hi mate, many thanks, do you mind if I don't say, i'm considering selling it on my website with my own branding on 👍

[@russ3994]

No probs Nick i understand!

[@HenryLoenwind]

I have to say, nice colour choice and nice letter shapes. Bad judgement on surface selection, though.

[@alstalbs2265]

PRANG needs to work on his N's. That seemed to shift a lot easier than the other letters. Great video as usual Nick, thanks very much for the upload :) Have a great week mate

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Many thanks Al, have a great week to mate 👍

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Sir Nick. Have you rechecked the wall you did last to see if the taggers returned?? Prang - to collide with; bump into. To destroy or severely damage by a bombing raid; bomb (an enemy target). As the great Ann Richardson is apt to say "Start the Clock !!" Maybe removing the paint has to do with the type of spray paint it is, maybe the color, depending on what they put into certain colors, that might make removing said paint a little harder to do??

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hi Jeremy, yep it's still clean amazingly, maybe they've given up, not likely though 😏

[@pattyannbeaven9287]

Wow that was amazing the way you got the graffiti off the car park brickwork, is there anything you have not been able to shift?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Not so far ❤️

[@streetrunner8273]

What the name of your boiler? Great job very motivating

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

It's a Mazzoni HotBox, thanks very much 👍

[@jypexnettoyage]

Great job Nick - do you charge by the hour or by size for graffiti? ;-)

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Cheers 👍. I charge by 1/2 day to a full day

[@hammondo7]

Can you come and get rid of these yellow graffiti on the road outside my house, two lines.😂😂😂😂😂

[@johnauld0]

What generator is that you’re using matey 😊

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

This one mate 👍 www.justgenerators.co.uk/loncin-lc2000i-petrol-inverter-generator.html

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@mufasah888]

Prang means an accident or crash. Like a car accident.

[@EricaMTB]

Trims, Kerbz, Recon and Dones aren't going to be happy 😊
