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.

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.

I got this as a gift for my neighbor who found graffiti on his garage and trash can. He used it and was pleased that everything came off perfectly on the smooth trash can. His garage however was built with grained aluminum siding. Most of it came off with one application, however, even with two more applications using a brush, it seemed to remain in the grained lines. He was happy that the majority of it was now removed and no longer an eyesore.

Ok, so I wasn't getting off spray paint, but I am not sure if what we had was water-based or oil based. To make a long story short, my kids were doing arts and crafts on the balcony of an apartment we rent, and the youngest one managed to get paint everywhere. By the time the kids told me, it was dry. I searched for a cleaner that would work, but I didn't need it in bulk, and some of the products at big box stores had mixed reviews. Others specifically state that they do not work on porous surfaces (such as concrete), or reviews discussed the problems associated with paste removers. Anyway, I came across this product, and for less than $10, I thought it was worth a shot. Oh my goodness. I don't know if it was this product or the wire brush I bought at the same time, but the stains are practically gone! I am not sure if the product and/or scrubbing lightened the concrete a little, or whether where I scrubbed is now the cleanest part of the balcony. Either way, I think I will avoid whatever ridiculous fees I am sure the apartment complex would have charged. I will probably go over some of the parts again after I do most of the balcony, but given that you spray, wait 3-4 minutes, and then scrub, it's not too time-consuming. I have attached photos with the before and after. I only cleaned half the are so you can see it is in fact the same section of the balcony. I actually removed the worst spot before it occurred to me to take photos, so it might even be better than it looks. I hope I don't have to use this product once we're in the new house, but it's nice to keep around just in case!
