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 .
😂 👍
@lauralake7430- Hopefully they learned a good lesson not to destroy other peoples property!
been dreaming of someone inventing a coating that does not just that but releases something like tear gas when hit by paint :)
😂😂😂
This is the only correct answer. 😎
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.
Totally agree 👍, thanks Martin 👍
Graffiti looks better than a blank wall
@@dupisdisasterpiece1058Disagree.
@@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
None of them have any artistic talent. They just learn how to do one thing and repeat it, over and over again.
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. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much Trisha 🥰
Yep - great job - just needs a follow up with a decent porous protection coating & 24/7/365 guarding of course!
😢😢Is there a sealant that you can put on the brick to protect it so that future graffiti can be easily removed???
Throw the wogs outta country.. they can go paint kenya and saudi arabia
That is a stellar job! Wall looks stunning!
Thank you so much Elizabeth 😍
Amazing! I had yet to see anyone able to remove graffiti.
Thank you! Cheers!
Unbelievably effective. Wow!
Many thanks ☺️
Nick fantastic job
Cheers dude, much appreciated 👍👍
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 🎉
That's a great idea, thanks Dianne 💕
Same in ACT - an entire open drain with high walls devoted to street art - just happens to be next to Canberra College
Your hand must be so tired after that! Great job!
Thank you Linda 😍
Very Nicely Done... I can't stand these people who get a charge out of defacing other people's property
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.
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!
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!
@@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 🤷🏼♀️
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.
@@SeattlePioneer no it will not be tagged ever again, it will stay clean and respected.
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
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!
Easily more satisfying to watch than Saturday evening TV on the BBC!!
Impressive. And for some reason relaxing to watch.
Is there anything you cant do 😂, brilliant work as usual.....
One thing id do if i owned that area would be plant a hedge, preferably holly or something with prickles or even those trestle yokes for plants to grow up along......
Lol, cheers Al 👍. That's a really good idea, i'll suggest it to them 👍
Some serious equipment Nick. Well done it turned out well.
Nice one Paudie 👍
That looks great, I hope they listen to you and get that protected! Have a great day.!
I hope so too, many thanks Toni ❤️
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 :)
Cheers Al, top, top man 🤝
Its so satisfying watching you sand blast that wall. You really know your stuff !!!
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.
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. ❤
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 ❤️
Couldn't they hire you to spray the protection,or is it expensive?.
That really did work great!
@@PrestigeExternalCleaningI'm impressed, you did a really good job. It looks like you didn't pressure wash it but air blasted the graffiti and I suppose chemical treated, is that right? How much time did this actually take?
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??
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. 👍
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 😊
Aw thanks Mishka 💕
you are delusional. they all "mural artist" started like this
I love what you did here! Thanks for sharing that technology. It's mind blowing! I have to deal with graffiti at one of the properties I service, and it's awful stuff. They're lucky to have someone like you to offer this service!
Many thanks ☺️
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 😊 🤗🤗
Well said Polgara, lovely to hear from you as always, thanks for the awesome comment 💕
Brilliant ! What a fantastic result and satisfying to watch !!
Many thanks!
wow..all that paint just melted away...awesome to watch!
Hi Nick, that was immensly satistfying to watch. Away with the crappy graphs you did! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it mate 👍
That made the difference! I hope they get you to put the coating on!
When you want it done right you hire in the right man with the right tools. Right Nick?
Right LuAnn ❤️
Damnnnn....and I thought pressure washing was theraputic ...
Top Job Nick, as usual
Stu
Lol, nice one Stu, really appreciate that mate 👍
Wow, great job Nick. Bloody graffiti artists would do your head in! Keeps you in work though 😅. I like how you explained the situation and what didnt work and why, and showed what did work and why.
Thank you so much 😀
I don't pretend to understand how that works but it did an amazing job undoing that graffiti. You are a gem
😊
Thanks Valerie 😍
Incredible. I wish every city had a team of this guy to keep places clean.
That was an amazing cleanup.. that machine is great.
Thanks so much Mirtha 💕
Cracking job. It's all about knowing the right methods. Well done. I assume you hire the compressor and ibix?
Hey Ched, cheers mate 👍. No didn't hire it, it's my equipment bud 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Nice, I bet that was a decent outlay. Good to have your own kit as you know how it works and can look after it.
And now for something completely different! That as fun to watch!
Aw cheers cleopatra 😍
Great work, Nick. Wall looks so much better. 💥🇦🇺
Thanks Suzanne 👍
Wow, Nick, that did the trick! You used something like that on a very old building in Cambridge, I think… one brick at a time to spare the pointing. Great job!
That was amazing work! I'd never heard of it before! Thank you ❤
I like the respirator set up..looks easy to move in
Really impressive. Great job.
Nice one Nick cant stand Graffiti myself either looks so untidy messy !! but fantastic job .👍
Thanks Russ, much appreciated mate 👍
Wow, that hose definitely made light work of that hideous daubing. It was great to watch. Well done!
I am impressed! Great job done.👍
Thank you very much!
This is way too satisfying to watch
Watching you remove the graffiti was sooooooo satisfying!
outstanding work and result. Very impressive. I get such a calming feeling watching your cleaning videos makes me want to watch more very satisfying work and profession in my humble opinion. 👍💯
WOW!! That really works! But it looks tedious especially doing it for a whole wall and then some. Nick you did a wonderful job! I hope they choose to protect the brick and save money in the long run. Hope you are having a wonderful week, see you next time!
It really was 😏, but I just tell myself "think of the money", Thank you so much Nancy 💕
Wow...huge difference. Better than new. Very impressive work...so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for the entertainment.
I love media blast jobs, it's like you handle a magical gun 😊
I miss the background music a bit, it gets less. For me it adds extra comfort :)
Aw cheers Tatjana, aplologies, probably should have put more music in on this one. Next time 🥰
Wow ! Look at you go ! No one can hold a candle to you and your amazing work ethic to get it done right ! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Never thought about air pressure removing spray paint..wonder if that would remove latex paint..had that one before! Just short of a nuke to take that off, even with acetone! Great job as usual! ❤😊
The air is carrying sand. He sand blasted the point off the brick, aswell as a layer of brick.
That’s a awesome bit of kit like it gets it off straight away
2 seconds in and my brain went "CAMBRIDGE!". Camera panned round and I knew it, then cyclists, trains and your website confirmed it. Nice little memory-prod. Thanks.
Knew you could do it. No one does it quite like our Nick.🎉🎉🎉
Aw thanks Jay 😍
Wow, that is REALLY impressive. They should use this video as an advert!!
👍👍👏👏👏👍👍
That machine is a the equivalent to a magic wand!
😆👍
Awesome bit of kit 👏👍
I wonder if this method would work here:
Many years ago I read a lengthy article about using light as a cleaner. It would flash a powerful beam of light at a wall where it would disintegrate a 1/1000th of an inch (25 microns) of the surface. Designed to remove any grime (dust & mold) built up over time on stone buildings and statues. Before & after pics looked like it was power washed, but damaged the original stone a lot less. I don't remember what it was called.
Beautiful work. Quick question though, where did you get your mask? I am loving that the filters are above the face instead of blocking your vision.
Awesome job on removal 🎉
Thank you! Cheers Dean 👍
Terrific job of creating a fresh canvas for the graffiti types to paint again.
I'm thinking that local residents ought to catch the taggers and spray paint THEM for a change.
well that's how these guys get paid by clearing up after you bunch of mugs, so please keep it up and make them richer.
Beautiful job! You really know your stuff! Can't wait to see the wall get protected and hope the funding goes through. Awesome work!
Thanks so much!
that little bit at the end, cleaned calcite deposits on the bricks to🙂having tools needed, and just did as there where passing it any way?
Almost like magic with hard work included.
How about trying some type of sandblasting technique whether it be sand ice pellets or whatever
Quite a weapon, hope you charge them accordingly. Amazing result, well done.
Blimey, that's an excellent result mate!! 👏👏 Mind me asking, is that your kit or do you hire it in when needed? What media were you using buddy? That's really quite impressive. 👍👍
Cheers mate 👍, yeah it's mine bud, I used a material called garnet 👍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning ahh, lovely bit of kit mate! Haven't had call for it where I am but can see how it could actually create business opportunities too if you've got it - hmmm, food for thought!! 🤔🤔 Take care mate! 👍
I have a 4k psi pressure washer. Added to that is a Venturi sand injector. This will take 30 mesh or 20 mesh bagged sand , sand has to be dry to flow. I remove that graffiti with that. It will take grease off engines. Just a small amount of sand mix with the high pressure water really cuts the paint off the bricks. It will be easier on the bricks as well. Best wishes tools tools tools we love ‘em.
That's amazing! I really hope the owners put on some anti graffiti coating on that wall immediately! I took a look at how much that machine would cost and oooohboy from first glance it is very expensive but I would think that a few jobs later using it would pay for itself in the long run. How well does the mask protect against the blasting material and how long did this project take you? It looks very easy but I'm sure your arms and trigger finger got tired after a while.
These would tend to be rental unless doing this type of work full time
Nick your work is always so amazingly well done. This brick we have in California and is slump stone.. Very open aggregate that just crumbles if sandblasted.. Its color is nice but a b to clean. I hope folks all over appreciate what you do. Thanks..☺️👍
Nice to see people trying to keep things looking good. In the US, almost universally, the solution would be to just paint over it with whatever leftover color paint was in the truck.
Thanks for sharing
Great job 👌it could probably remove tattoos
guessing thats sarcasm. its called a blaster for a reason, the skin under the tattoo would be gone too
@@Thunderpants33 and bone
Many thanks 🙏
Eugene OR here. Graffiti on freeway soundwalls and bridges is typically PAINTED OVER around here. They are so fast to paint over it that I think it has probably discouraged the graffiti artists.
Good job! I was wondering if those laser cleaning machines would be also appropriate to get the same results.
Great job! What is the commercial name of the product you recommend for the anti-graffiti coating? Thank you in advance.
Magic now you see now you don’t ,good job well done mate !it’s a pitty it won’t stay clean 👍👍
Nick, great job! If management doesn't accept your suggestion, then all of you've really accomplished, unfortunately, was to create a new canvas for the graffiti artist. That would be a shame. And the sides of the buildings on the upper level need your attention even more than the wall.
Brilliant as usual 👍
Thank you so much 😀
That was brilliant to watch really enjoyed that mate well done 👍
Hey Colin, cheers mate 😍
@@PrestigeExternalCleaning Bit late that reply I was in the huff with you 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣 You mate, never, you could kick me in the unmentionables, and i'd still bloody love ya! Just getting a bit crap with my responses these days mate 😏@@colingray7107
Amazingly effective --- good job!😊
Thank you! 😊
Hi nick.how's it going and another fantastic video well done and keep up the great work and nice bit of kit 👍
Thanks James, much appreciated 👍
Ur very welcome nick.anytime
Great job Nick! Here in Chicago we have a program called Graffiti Blasters. They come and remove graffiti. They are very busy here! Maybe you can create a new revenue stream for yourself doing this!
That is awesome, thanks for sharing Colleen 😍
Top job nick
Cheers Lee 😍
Seems like painting over it would be a good option in that location, along with more access impediments/ deterrence... and maybe a bit of punishment.
That’s so cool. It looks like you’re spraying on paint rather than blasting it off.
Wow. Amazing! What kind of abrasive media are you using?
Thank you, I used garnet 👍
Excellent bit of kit, nice video, where did you hire it from?
Thanks Paul 👍, I didn't hire it mate, it's mine 🙂
woo hoo a fresh spot to paint ! a graffiti crew will arrive shortly to cover that buff.
As far as calling it Art well I believe if you put a coat of paint on a turd it is still a turd. What a fantastic job you did. Absolutely amazing. So given the amazing results of your work, I hope these folks listen to you about putting on a coat of anti-graffiti coding. Well done.
Amazing work as always!
Thank you so much 😀
Nick, which blasting media were you using to lift that paint off? It seems to be a low dust outcome.
I used garnet
Given that the brick is so porous, is there a chance that the air might blast/push the paint further into the brick? You did a great job...just wondering. Thanks.
Wow some machine!!great stuff glad to this of walls an that, should give dem heavy fines? Or something,😊❤
That was amazing, great job!
Good job done .but would it not be best to tell who ever is in charge to seal that wall with this new clear sealant which would not allow any paint on it as it will juest run off the wall if the artist try to paint on it .
Thanks, but that's exactly what I mentioned in the video, at the beginning, and at the end.
Yep! That looks clean to me!
Brilliant result - what an expert job. Hope you continue to get more work as you knowledge, skills and attitude to delivering a professional service are cellar visible to anyone watching this video.
What a lovely thing to say, thank you so much 😊
