When to use Shadow Remover
- The original graffiti coating has been removed but a visible shadow remains
- Residual pigment remains within brick, concrete, masonry or another porous surface
- Older graffiti has penetrated below the surface
- A high-visibility asset still appears stained after primary removal
- Improving the final appearance is important
- A repeat visit may otherwise be required because the asset still looks marked
Shadow Remover targets the residual pigment that may remain below the surface
after Gold or Red has removed the original graffiti coating.
When to use another product
-
If the graffiti coating is still present on a suitable robust surface, begin with
Graffiti-Enz Gold
-
For routine graffiti on suitable painted, sealed or smooth surfaces, consider
Graffiti-Enz Red
-
For small fresh incidents, mobile teams or spot cleaning, use
Super Wipes
-
After the stain-treatment process, use
Germ-Enz
where required for the final clean.
What is graffiti ghosting?
Ghosting is the residual stain or outline that can remain after the visible
graffiti coating has been removed. It commonly occurs when pigments penetrate
the pores of brick, concrete, masonry or stone rather than remaining only on
the surface.
- The paint or ink has been removed but its colour remains visible
- A faint outline remains within the surface
- Porous material has absorbed part of the graffiti pigment
- Previous removal has left the asset looking only partly restored
Shadow Remover is not normally the first product used on intact graffiti.
Remove the original coating with Gold or Red before treating remaining ghosting.

Surface compatibility guide
Shadow Remover is intended primarily for residual staining on suitable porous
surfaces. Compatibility depends on the substrate, condition, coating history
and the type of pigment remaining.
- Brick and masonry
- Concrete walls, structures and public assets
- Stone and other suitable porous mineral surfaces
- Older porous surfaces where pigment has penetrated
- Public infrastructure and transport assets where compatible
Always conduct a small, inconspicuous spot test before full application.
Surface porosity, coatings, age, previous treatments and weather exposure
can all affect the final result.

coating has been removed. Choose the appropriate primary remover first.
How Shadow Remover fits into the Graffiti-Enz system
Shadow Remover is the residual-stain treatment stage within the Graffiti-Enz

the final clean where required.
