Motsenbocker's Lift Off 411-01 Spray Paint Graffiti Remover

I was in doubt with some of the things I read about this . I had latex overspray on my brick in several spots around my house , that had been in there for 3 years . This stuff worked amazing . Well worth the buy . Spray it on give it 10 seconds another coat heavily . Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes and use wire brush comes off easily . If it’s stubborn spray and use wire brush while wet don’t let it completely dry .. whoever wrote bad reviews on this stuff didn’t try at all . It goes along ways done many spots and still have 1/2 bottle ..

I used this on a white curtain that has had grey paint on it for years, and the paint came out with a little elbow grease and patience. Amazing. I then tried it on a shirt that is chiffon and got paint on it somehow. I'm pretty sure it went through the wash with the paint on it, but I tried it anyway. It got out about 95% of the paint, and once washed, (after the second photo) it's hardly noticeable. I put a safety pin next to it so I could make sure the paint was gone, and it was. I tried this on some very old paint drops on a linoleum floor that is really old and a solid color. Not so good, it left a change in sheen, but the paint did come off. Worked so so on the same paint drops on a wood floor. The previous owners were really messing when they painted! I treated the spots, waited a minute or so, then used a paint scraper to lightly pop the paint off. Bigger areas got more smudgy and took more work, but if you need to get the paint off, this works, even on some fabrics. The smell wasn't too bad and I didn't wear gloves. It felt weird on my fingers but washed off my hands easily with soap and water.

I spray painted my daughters bedroom furniture to jazz it up rather than replace it. A bit of overspray got on my driveway where I did the work. I bought this to remove it since Graffiti is spray paint so I figured it would work well. It did a fair job, not fantastic. there were a few drips of paint that it did not work real well on that I had to scrape pretty hard even after letting this stuff soak for a while. The much more diffuse, vague areas of overspray look better after using this although I can still see them (but my wife can't, but she doesn't know where to look). So basically this improved the situation 80% I would say, not 100%.

This product does not work as advertised. I bought it to remove spray paint from a vinyl fence. I followed the directions, sprayed it on, waited for a minute, wiped it off and the paint did not come off. Tried several times and nothing. Paint was still on the fence. Total waste of money, and then could not return it. Not sure what kind of voodoo potion this is, but does not work. Do not buy or you’re just throwing money away.

Has different effects on different graffiti. On a city sign, it started to take off the black of the sign. It didn't remove all of the graffiti, but it may have been on there for a long time. On a kitchen cabinet with a wood stain, that had bled permanent marker ink onto the top. It didn't remove half of the ink, and certainly discolored the finish on the cabinet. Difficult to see the discoloration until after it was dried thoroughly. Not recommended for obviously stained good furniture. On a garage door and garage with graffiti that had been on there at least six months, it removed most of the graffiti on the door, but not entirely. You can still see the writing, but is is blurred lines. Some paint/markers came off easier than others. It did remove some layers of the paint, but the garage owners said it had been painted over a dozen times, that they know of, so it removing layers didn't bother them. On the hardboard wood of the garage, the same paint on the garage did NOT come off much at all. Some of the markers did come off easily. My favored way of using it is to spray it on, let it soak about 15 seconds, then use one of those miracle erasers on it. They erasers tend to fall apart, but they do a better job. If it comes off easily, then I use a rag. I would have to do this several times, most of the time. Using water didn't seem to help much at all, in any way at all. For all that I did, I used about half the container.
