Nice one Nick! Like most people, I can't stand graffiti. I wouldn't mind if the people who did had any talent, but they never do and you mostly get those crappy tags everywhere.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Totally agree 👍, thanks Martin 👍

[@dupisdisasterpiece1058]

Graffiti looks better than a blank wall

[@teresayeates3437]

​@@dupisdisasterpiece1058Disagree.

[@Leftfield2k7]

@@dupisdisasterpiece1058 Agreed, GOOD graffiti looks better. Tagging and bad graffiti looks worse than a plain wall imho When I was a youth worker we paid the local young graffiti artists to paint the walls of the youth club, looked way better than the boring plain wall

[@nickp1548]

None of them have any artistic talent. They just learn how to do one thing and repeat it, over and over again.

[@lauralake7430]

I used to live in an apartment above the parking lot, a magnet for graffiti. Also for men peeing on the wall. The landlord painted it with a special paint coating that repelled moister, and didnt allow paint to stick. It just ran off . Hilariously, it also sprayed the pee right back on the person peeing on the wall! So funny .

[@MsCheesemonster13]

😂 👍

[@graciemaca6996]

@lauralake7430- Hopefully they learned a good lesson not to destroy other peoples property!

[@jwenting]

been dreaming of someone inventing a coating that does not just that but releases something like tear gas when hit by paint :)

[@trinidad2450]

😂😂😂

[@MrBUESUM]

This is the only correct answer. 😎

[@trishhoapili7587]

That is stunning! I hope they protect that wall for easier removal going forward. You should be so happy and proud of that clean up. 🎉🎉🎉

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you so much Trisha 🥰

[@pabrennan6877]

Yep - great job - just needs a follow up with a decent porous protection coating & 24/7/365 guarding of course!

[@wickedbird1538]

😢😢Is there a sealant that you can put on the brick to protect it so that future graffiti can be easily removed???

[@andrewclayterman6230]

Throw the wogs outta country.. they can go paint kenya and saudi arabia

[@joycegonzalez4704]

Very Nicely Done... I can't stand these people who get a charge out of defacing other people's property

[@ElizabethFranquiEsq]

That is a stellar job! Wall looks stunning!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you so much Elizabeth 😍

[@Snargfargle]

You did such a good job that it would be a shame were that wall to be soon "tagged" again. They definitely need to put an anti-graffiti coating on it.

[@joeylawn36111]

MO the owners of the complex should have had the anti-graffiti sprayer crew already booked to spray it on right after, as it was a Friday - by Monday, there was a good chance of more graffiti....Also, Great Job by Prestige External Cleaning!

[@SeattlePioneer]

Of COUSE it will be tagged again! All that was done was to create a fresh canvas for tagging. Perhaps they should paint it BLACK and see how the graffiti types like THAT!

[@huskytail]

@@SeattlePioneer colourful sprays are not difficult to find. These graffiti were made with green and red and both would have been visible on black wall. The only protection is anti-graffiti coating and cleaning 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@SeattlePioneer]

Cleaning is providing a fresh canvas for taggers. I suspect that a colorful BLACK would be FAR less of an invitation to taggers than a cleaned wall. Worth a try, I suggest. And fresh coats of black paint covering any repeated tagging should be discouraging for taggers and easy to apply to cover up tagging. But I have no experience with how effective anti tagging paints might be. Perhaps we can agree that simply cleaning a surface, as illustrated in the video, is an invitation for repeated tagging.

[@geometrymaster550]

Amazing! I had yet to see anyone able to remove graffiti.

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@coppertopjohnson9782]

That IBIX really did the job. Now for the golden question...how long did that take you in real time? While it erased the grafitti pretty well in the video, I am guessing that it took quite a bit of time as there wasn't a wide spray, therefore you were doing individual bricks. Great job, Nick. 👍🏼👍🏼 Another stellar job. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thanks for sharing. ❤

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hey Denise, it didn't take that long really, was only blasting for a couple of hours. Had a nice early day that day. Thanks for the great comment as usual ❤️

[@peterunderdown4374]

Couldn't they hire you to spray the protection,or is it expensive?.

[@Oodb2]

That really did work great!

[@justsayin1958]

Your hand must be so tired after that! Great job!

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Thank you Linda 😍

[@joy2own]

That was amazing work! I'd never heard of it before! Thank you ❤

[@IsoPreP089]

Amazing job as always Nick, I have heard of an Ibix but never seen it in action what an incredible result!!! I was thinking sandblasting

[@polgarauk5606]

Firstly that's not art that is vandalism. There is such a thing as graffiti art and it can be lovely (not my kind of thing admittedly). That was not it on that wall 😂 Secondly wow that is a heck of a machine system and you did a wonderful job with it. Really hope they put the stuff on you recommend would probably be far cheaper in the long term for them. Anyway love and hugs to you and your family from me and mine oop norf. Hope you have had a lovely weekend and a lovely week going forward 😊 🤗🤗

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Well said Polgara, lovely to hear from you as always, thanks for the awesome comment 💕

[@diannebourke9005]

Excellent work Nick. You should be extremely happy with that job not just pretty happy! Here in Tassie, if there is a wall that cops a lot of graffiti, someone pays a proper graffiti artist to do the whole wall with a decent image/design that moves the "would be" artists on. Great video to watch 🎉

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

That's a great idea, thanks Dianne 💕

[@stephenwagener349]

Same in ACT - an entire open drain with high walls devoted to street art - just happens to be next to Canberra College

[@andrewpowell6457]

Nick fantastic job

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Cheers dude, much appreciated 👍👍

[@walterengler5709]

Impressive. And for some reason relaxing to watch.

[@luannvondracek439]

When you want it done right you hire in the right man with the right tools. Right Nick?

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Right LuAnn ❤️

[@AntEloftheHouseofEl]

Looks great! I've never understood why building contractors or estates maintenance scrimp on protection. If its a publically accessed area, just get a coating on the brickwork. It saves a small fortune in the long run! I did the side of my mates house once, that faced an alley, as he was constantly getting graffiti. Once it was done and dried, quick 2 minute blast with a pressure washer when he was cleaning once a month kept it pristine!

[@alinaCatwatcher]

Its so satisfying watching you sand blast that wall. You really know your stuff !!!

[@mishkawp8200]

Excellent results - what a fantastic bit of kit that is! Graffiti is awful to see, other than those rare ‘artists’ who create murals rather than tagging everything. Have a great week Nick 😊

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Aw thanks Mishka 💕

[@antinacista]

you are delusional. they all "mural artist" started like this

[@alstalbs2265]

Brilliant job Nick! That was an extremely satisfying video. I hope they've got that wall coated now. Thanks very much for the upload, have a great week :)

[@weighit]

You did an amazing job with that tiny compressor. I had a blasting business and ran a 800 CFM compressor, with that kind of air the wall you did would have been done very quickly. But I like seeing how percise your blasting was. Good Job.

[@tonicorona5277]

[@jeremy1350]

Hey Sir Nick. Here in Montreal, I live above a tunnel that leads downhill towards a Metro Station at the bottom. It is a one lane down run with a walk path to one side. Our kids tag the entire length of the walls on both the walk side as well as the car lane opposite wall. Then they have tagged all the pillars as high as they can reach at the bottom of the tunnel that holds up the elevated highway above. They stopped steam cleaning the walls a long time ago. Because every time they clean it, the tags appear almost overnight. So now they just let the taggers run amok, then come back and paint over the tagging, they don't even attempt to clean it because there are so many layers of spray paint on the walls. // Now we will see just how fast the taggers return to tag that wall again. Maybe they should not wait to treat that wall, yes??

[@PrestigeExternalCleaning]

Hey Jeremy, thanks for your comment mate. Yeah it would probably be better if they didn't wait, but unfortunately that's out of my control. 👍

[@paudielyons3918]
