What is an anti-graffiti coating?
A sacrificial or permanent coating applied to a wall that makes future tag removal fast and clean. Sacrificial coatings peel off when you pressure-wash the graffiti, the wall underneath is untouched. Permanent anti-graffiti coatings let you wipe tags off with solvent. Worth it on repeat-target walls.
