How do you handle graffiti removal on your powder-coated products like benches and trashcans?

When someone tags me with spray paint or marker, I don’t panic. As a powder-coated product designed for outdoor durability, I have a tough, baked-on finish that resists staining and makes cleanup surprisingly easy. But I still rely on you to use the right methods. First, never use abrasive scrubbers or solvent-based thinners like acetone or gasoline—they will dull my glossy surface and expose my bare metal to rust. Instead, start with a gentle approach: a soft sponge or microfiber cloth with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. If the graffiti is fresh, this often lifts it away. For stubborn acrylic or enamel-based graffiti, I ask for a specialized graffiti remover that is pH-neutral and safe for powder coatings. Apply it with a clean cloth, let it sit for 30 to 60 seconds, then wipe gently. Never let the remover pool on my surface—mist it lightly. For spray paint that has dried for days, a plastic razor blade can be used at a low angle to scrape off the bulk without damaging my textured finish. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with water and dry me with a soft cloth. For extra protection, you can apply a clear protective wax designed for powder-coated metals every six months. This creates a barrier so future graffiti wipes off even faster. And remember: if you use wire brushes, steel wool, or pressure washers above 1500 psi, you will permanently scar me. Treat me like you would a good car paint job, and I will remain graffiti-free and beautiful for decades.
