01 Challenge
What had to be solved
Outdoor art has a short lifespan without protection. Pieces that take weeks or months to create can be tagged within days. Rain pulls at edges, UV fades colour, and city pollution dulls the finish.
Removal without a coating usually means damaging the original work or funding a full restoration. Artists and art-trail teams need a wipe-clean surface that does not alter the artwork underneath.
02 Solution
How the system was applied
Urban Hygiene’s artist protection system follows three clear steps:
- Protect — apply Art Varnish (or Anti-Graffiti Coating where specified) before public display. Graffiti-resistant in around four hours, with 20+ years of proven durability.
- Maintain — keep Graffiti Wipes on hand for quick portable tag removal during regular walk-rounds.
- Restore — use Graffiti Remover Spray for stubborn vandalism. Spray on, wipe off, safe on coated surfaces.
03 Result
What changed
Artists and organisations get a tough, wipe-clean finish that preserves colour and detail, supports fast graffiti removal, and avoids repeated restoration. The same system supports everything from single murals to large sculpture trails, with clear product compatibility and no seasonal reapplication cycle.
