Graffiti Shadow Acid
SaraWest Graffiti Shadow Acid is used after graffiti removal when pigment shadowing remains on porous mineral surfaces. It is especially useful where alkaline products are not suitable.

Erase dye ghosting from brick and concrete when alkalines won’t touch it.
You cleared the tag, but the wall still tells the story - purple shadows in capillaries, dye halos in mortar joints. On public corridors, stations, and brick facades, alkaline cleaners can stall out or aren’t allowed. Crews burn labor on repeat passes, harsher methods, or abrasive blasting that scars substrates and triggers complaints.
Graffiti Shadow Acid is our post-removal finisher for porous, acid‑resistant mineral surfaces. It uses a controlled blend of organic and inorganic acids with targeted chelation to disrupt dye-metal bonds and lift residual pigment without high fume or oily residue. Low foam, fast-rinse, and effective in cooler weather, it penetrates masonry pores, releases the last 10% of color, and restores uniformity after the primary remover did its job - especially where alkaline solutions are off‑limits.
Formulated and filled in our 30,000 sq ft Pampa, Texas plant, this is factory-direct chemistry with nearly 40 years of formulation experience behind it. We build it the same way for cities, transit authorities, and national brands - then put your label on it. White-label ready with compliant documentation, and scalable from case packs to drums and totes to back your program without distributor markup.
- Acid-optimized system targets dye and mineral-bound pigment ghosting in masonry pores.
- Low-fuming, fast-rinse formula reduces water demand and cleanup time on site.
- Works where alkaline cleaners are unsuitable or restricted by specification.
- Effective in cool conditions; consistent results from 40–90°F on porous substrates.
- Balanced strength minimizes etching on acid‑resistant brick and concrete when used properly.
- Factory-direct white‑label supply with repeatable batch-to-batch performance.
Surface prep: Remove bulk graffiti with your primary remover. Rinse thoroughly. Pre-wet the substrate with clean water to control absorption.
Dilution: For light shadowing, dilute 1:8 with water. For moderate to heavy ghosting, start at 1:3. Always test the lowest strength that achieves results on a small, inconspicuous area.
Application: Apply with an acid‑resistant sprayer or brush from the bottom up to control streaking. Do not atomize. Allow 1–5 minutes of dwell. Do not let the surface dry. Agitate with a stiff, acid‑resistant brush on stubborn areas.
Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with low‑to‑moderate pressure water until runoff is clear. Multiple rinse cycles may be required on highly porous substrates. Optional: follow with a mild alkaline rinse to neutralize, then a final water rinse.
Conditions: Use between 40–90°F, out of direct sun and wind. Protect adjacent metals, glass, paints, and calcareous stone. Coverage typically 150–250 sq ft per gallon, depending on porosity.
- Removes up to 90% residual dye shadowing on acid‑resistant brick and concrete in two passes.
- Cuts return visits 30–50% versus alkaline-only post-treatments on comparable substrates.
- Delivers typical coverage of 150–250 sq ft per gallon, reducing chemical consumption.
- Achieves uniform appearance with minimal visible haloing after final rinse.
- Rinse water reaches near‑neutral pH after two fresh water rinses in most cases.
Going factory‑direct eliminates layered distributor margins and guesswork. You get a purpose‑built acid post‑treatment, not a rebadged commodity cleaner. Our team formulates, blends, and fills in Pampa, Texas, with process controls that keep every batch on‑spec and repeatable across sites and seasons. We support private‑label programs with compliant documentation, label templates, and scalable packaging, so you can standardize results and purchasing. One supplier, fewer touches, lower landed cost, and chemistry that actually erases the ghosting.
