Had my car painted at a nationwide chain and when I got it back, there was green paint over-spray here and there on the Saab Aero wheels. They had an "off" and uneven green glow. So I found this Motsenbocker's Lift Off #4 Spray Paint Graffiti Remover at Home Depot and it works wonderfully. I followed the instructions, left the spray on for 60 seconds then wiped clean with a new white terry towel, then washed with clean water. For some spots I did a second application. Now the wheels sparkle like new!

My Tesla got vandalized with paint graffiti and permanent marker. I tried this product and to my amazement, it removed both paint graffiti and permanent marker. It sure made my day and saved a new paint job. I highly recommend this product.

Love this graffiti remover
Well my Jeep was tagged with graffiti. Mainly the rear window. Looked on YouTube on how to remove spray paint on a vehicle and came across this remover. Went to Home Depot right away and tried it. Only took me 10 mins to remove it. I was very happy with the outcome. I definitely recommend this spray.

Quite possibly the most destructive thing known to lexan
Used this product, sparingly, on a lexan rc body, to remove enamel paint. By sparingly, I mean that I used maybe 3oz out of the 22oz bottle. Yes, I followed the instructions and tested it on spot prior to further use. The results were very promising. The paint came right off, the lexan was clear. No negative side effects. However, after applying more to the rest of the body, the results were disastrous. It quite literally ate through the car body. The lexan became brittle, cloudy, and several holes formed through out. It is quite completely destroyed. Be careful, as the product clearly states that the company is not responsible for USE or misuse. This actually means if you use it properly, and it causes damage, they are NOT responsible. This should be quite telling on it's own.

AMAZING results....pictures included
I work for a storage facility and rented out our moving truck, which was returned with graffiti on all four sides of the truck. After going to three stores, I finally purchased a bottle. I wasn't sure it would work but was willing to try so I knew I at least attempted to remove it before having the company repaint. I sprayed the product on and waited a two minutes. I then scrubbed the graffiti with a non-scratching sponge. Like magic, the graffiti began to wipe off. I still can't believe it!! The spray paint was dark red and silver! After scrubbing with the sponge, which actually didn't require "scrubbing"...(I just didn't want to waste a billion paper towels), I simply reapplied the product and wiped off the residue with a paper towel. I took before and after pictures.

Amazing!
Someone sprayed a line across the whole passenger side of my car. I bought this and same rags at Home Depot and it literally wiped right off. Highly recommended. I thought I would have to get my car detailed and pay big money, but I'm glad I went this route.

    Long story short, our young son decided to impress us with his spelling and writing skills which is great! What wasn't so great was he did it with spray paint; and on the side of our house! This product (along with a scrub brush) did a great job on the vinyl siding but the foundation brick is another story. Bottom line: Great on vinyl siding, not so great on brick

    We noticed that you had a slight challenge with removing graffiti from a brick surface. Because brick is porous, you will need to use a different approach to removing the spray paint. We recommend you spray on Lift Off Spray Paint and Graffiti Remover. Let it set for 3 to 5 minutes, then agitate the surface with a stiff bristle or wire brush. Using a high pressure water system will then knock off any remaining spray paint from the brick surface. You can also call our customer service department (800-227-5538) for additional assistance. liftoffinc

    Please note that I am reviewing solely based on my particular experience. I painted a pair of red ABS plastic motorcycle saddlebags with Rustoleum peelable paint. I put about 4 coats of the paint plus 3 coats of clearcoat. The bags sit under the hot sun here in Florida for over 2 weeks. The results were not what I expected. Although the finish was acceptable, the silver bags on a silver motorcycle was bad. It looked like a mirror in 2 wheels. After looking around for something that would not damage the plastic, I decided to use Motsenbocker's remover. I tried a small area and left it sit for a while. Not much was happening apparently; a slight blistering and nothing else. But, when I slid my thumb on the area, the paint started to come out. It did a very good job of removing the paint without damaging the plastic under it. The product will loosen the paint but it will not peel it off by itself. It just loses the grip on the paint. It takes some rubbing with a cloth or your finger to peel it off. Some areas will need a second application for hard to remove places, but it will do the job. In conclusion, I will use it again if and when needed: it does the job and an attractive price.

    We would value the opportunity to learn more about your spray paint removal project and be able to offer some techniques that may prove more successful. If you are working on porous surfaces, such as concrete and brick, we recommend applying Lift Off Spray Paint and Graffiti Remover, letting it set for one to three minutes, then using a high pressure water system at 1,200 psi to blast off the graffiti.
    Please call our customer service number at (800) 227-5538 and will offer more solutions. liftoffinc

    I had some spray paint to remove from back wall of a trailer. I assumed it would be a long chore, but was quite happy when the graffiti remover and a green scrubbing pad removed it from the venal in only a few minutes! VERY HAPPY!!

    I believe I could have gotten better results if I had used bleach. It did not do what it was supposed to do. After several attempts, I just gave up. Spend your money on a better product.

    Motsenbocker's Lift Off Spray Paint and Graffiti Remover is a water-based product that works differently than solvent-based removers. And, because brick is very porous, we recommend the following. 1) Spray directly on to the paint to be removed; 2) Leave on for upward of three minutes; 3) Use a firm bristle brush to help agitate the paint that has been absorbed by the brick; 4) For best results, use a high-pressure water system at 1,200 psi to remove the remaining spray paint. liftoffinc

    Rarely write reviews but this was a lifesaver. Accidentally got a lot of overspray onto my black truck paint from an oil-based stain I used for my fence (oops). Soap and water did nothing. Mineral spirits had a little luck but was very difficult. Found a recommendation for this stuff on a forum and tried it and with a little elbow grease it all came right off. Definitely would recommend!

      Motsenbocker' Lift Off Spray Paint and Graffiti Remover is a water-based formula that was developed to be safe for the user, the environment and the surfaces that is used on. Therefore, it works differently than solvent based removers. We often recommend to have these tools along for the project because they assist with removal (to agitate to unwanted paint): clean cotton towels, scouring pads, wire brushes, and in some cases, a high pressure water system at 1,200 PSI. If you experience stubborn paint stains on porous surfaces (such as stone, concrete and brick) we recommend our gel formulation; Motsenbocker's Lift Off Paint & Varnish Remover that can be brushed on. It is great for adhering to vertical surfaces because it remains intact without running. Both products have a successful track record for being environmentally safe and effective in removing paint. liftoffinc

      Motsenbocker's Lift Off Spray Paint Remover is a water-based formulation that breaks the molecular bond between the paint and the surface. We recommend you apply Lift Off with a paint brush so that the surface is well saturated; let it set for upward of three minutes. Then use a scouring pad to agitate the surface and break lose the paint. It is best to apply in indirect sunlight, during the time of day when they sun isn’t as intense. Reapply as needed. liftoffinc

      Motsenbocker's Lift Off Spray Paint & Graffiti Remover can remove spray paint from brick. However, brick is very porous and absorbs the spray paint. It requires extra effort. Spray on Lift Off Spray Paint & Graffiti Remover to the paint (leave on from 1-3 minutes); then agitate with a wire brush. For best results, use a high-pressure water system (300 dpi) to break lose the paint. Use caution with the high pressure water system not to damage the brick. liftoffinc

      This stuff is great. I spray painted the scratches all over my car and it looked like a hot mess . So I used clear coat on it and it made it look worse. Two days later I used the graffiti remover and it got it all off. Spray small areas at a time. Will definitely buy again.

      Motsenbocker's Lift Off Spray Paint & Graffiti Remover can remove spray paint from porous surfaces, including rock walls. However, because the rock wall is porous it absorbs the spray paint. It requires extra effort. Spray on Lift Off Spray Paint & Graffiti Remover to the paint (leave on from 1-3 minutes); then agitate with a wire brush. For best results, use a high-pressure water system (300 dpi) to break lose the paint. Repeat as needed. liftoffinc

      We used this product to remove years old stain from our vinyl siding that had accumulated from rain washing paint down from our old plastic shutters. This product definitely softens and removes the stain; a little brushing and rinsing and it all came off. The only problem is that this will dry a little too fast before getting all the stain off, so had to reapply quite often to keep it wet and soluble.

      I tried several types of cleaning agents to remove some graffiti off frp board in a restroom. Some of them helped, but by no means did the job. This product really surprised me how quickly and well it did the job. I would recommend this product, just don't breath the fumes.
