Formulated using bio based solvents that are safe alternatives to highly flammable, toxic or petroleum hydrocarbon solvents, or
corrosive chemicals. This product is a ready to use, non-toxic, VOC compliant, biodegradable product specifically designed to
remove the most difficult marks and stains from many surfaces. This soy and corn bio-based graffiti remover is formulated using
a gel technology that allows the product to cling to vertical surfaces to enhance performance and minimize water run off. Can be
used on all types of metals, glass, cement, concrete, porcelain, stone, tile, desk tops and most baked on enamel surfaces.
