I have a commercial building with 1/4" plate safety glassed on a store front
that has been graffiti with paint, scratches and acid edged. I could scrape
off most of the paint but those paint embedded in the scratches and acid
edge are hard to remove. I've tried to remove it with a little high speed
rotary tool fitted with a wired wheel and a small buffer - very little
progress, will take hours. I will try with my 7" buffer with some aggressive
car polish next time. If that doesn't work I will use lacquer thinner. Any
other suggestions?

Stop using a buffer. You'll break the glass. I would email you but
you give no address.


Lacquer thinnner only works for lacquer afaik. I don'pt think

To reply to my own post: Lacquer thinner thins lacquer. I don't know
what it does to lacquer or other paint after the paint is dry.

I would use paint stripper, the gel type like someone said.

I might also call a janitorial supply company to see what they have,
or the police (not 911) or building department to see what they
recommned.

The poster idea is very good too.

graffite is done with lacquer, but someone here will know.

There are loads of solvents. You want the one for the paint they
used.
