Home Browse Search

If the GPC tech determines that the wall is a "hot spot" (likely to get frequent graffiti), GPC upon approval of the City will use its Gred Wash process. The Ghg#W Wash process employs a coating consisting of paraffin wax, water, and an emulsifier. The coating is completely non-toxic and biodegradable, and in fact is safe enough to drink. The coating is sprayed on to the surface to a height of about nine feet. Once the coding has dried, roughly 10 minutes, it becomes virtually invisible and forms a durable barrier on top of the surface of the structure. Although the coating is only one quarter of a millimeter thick, it prevents paint, ink, marker, and crayon from reaching the building surface. Instead, the graffiti settles on top of the wax where it is washed away using GPC specialized equipment. Neither rain nor summer weather will affect the coating. Since the Graffiti Wash process makers future removals easier for GPC, theme will be no charge for the coating application. Also the City will have five access to CPC's 250-c soda blaster tracks. These trucks will be brought in at no charge when the City has a specific project that requires high-powered equipment. -Trees Windmill Palm, Jacafilia Date Palm, Date palm, Mexican Fan, Ideal Queen Palm, and unpainted trees will be water blasted using a wide angle tip. For other trees that are already painted, GPC will match the existing color or a color that best matched the color of the tree. -Windows GPC will refer window graffiti to Code Enfinement. If the City were to change its policy regarding window graffiti removal, GPC would clean with a chemical remover and then squeegee off any residue. -Upper Level Tech will obtain permission from property owner to complete the work. When possible, GPC will obtain access either by ladder or roof dom/hatch. GPC has 24/7 access to a boom truck and scissor lift when required. GPC will remove the graffiti by methods discussed above. 25C-44
