Acid -etched and scratched glass graffiti is the new pandemic in vandalism and is becoming more and more common, especially on transport infrastructure.
Using our specialist processes we can remove this without the environmental and financial cost of glass replacement.
Phase 1: Removal
This offers a cost-effective alternative to replacing the damaged glass. On a day-to-day basis, our highly experienced glass polishers can restore graffiti damaged shopfront panels, entrance doors and glass balustrades.
Phase 2: Protection & Prevention
We can protect glass using a specialist film.
Our specialist films:
-
Ensure acid does not penetrate the glass surface
-
Prevent acid forming any shapes on the surface
-
Acid Pens will create just beads on the surface easily wiped away with a dry cloth
-
Can be coated to protect against bacteria

Our Work
Acid Etched Graffiti at Virginia Waters, London
Southwestern Rail were experiencing issues with acid and scratch graffiti across their network,
making glass unsightly and not in keeping with their high standards.
We came up with a solution.
Using specialist glass polishing techniques, we successfully removed all acid etchings and scratches throughout the station, bringing the glass back to its original state. We also went a step further by protecting the glass against further graffiti by installing specialist clear safety film which repels acid and protects the glass from scratch damage, saving money and reducing the environmental impacts of replacing the glass.

Clapham Junction was suffering from graffiti, especially acid etching and tagging onto glass.
Along one section of the station alone there are 270 panels of glass of which 170 have been defaced.
The station had two options, to either replace the glass or remove the graffiti using a polishing system.
Both options would solve the problem but could be graffitied again leaving you back where you started.
We offered a solution where we can remove the graffiti using our polishing system then cover the glass with a specialist clear film that will protect the glass from acid etching. It not only protects but will prevent tagging and deter vandals as the tags will only bead on the surface and not form a letter.The acid can simply be removed from the film with ease using soapy water.
