Anti-graffiti coatings are transparent protective barriers applied to surfaces before graffiti occurs. They create a non-stick layer that prevents spray paint, marker, and adhesives from bonding to the substrate — allowing future graffiti to be removed in minutes with hot water and a pressure washer rather than chemicals or sandblasting.
