4️⃣ Wipe the surface clean with a damp cloth. No rinsing is required, making this an ideal solution for quick and efficient restoration jobs.
What is the best graffiti shadow remover?
Ghost Buster is specifically formulated to remove ghosting from porous surfaces like brick, stone, and render. Unlike solvent-based products that can damage or discolour delicate materials, Ghost Buster uses a non-solvent, gel-based formula that penetrates deep into the surface to lift residual pigment and stains without abrasion. It’s trusted by professional graffiti removal teams, councils, and heritage site cleaners for safe, effective results on hard-to-clean masonry.
Is this shadow remover safe for use on heritage buildings?
Yes. Ghost Buster is a non-solvent graffiti remover that is safe for use on historic and listed buildings, including sandstone, limestone, and painted surfaces. Its thick, viscous formula reduces runoff and ensures controlled application, helping protect fragile architecture and sensitive substrates. It removes ghosting, old sticker residue, and adhesive marks while preserving the integrity of the original material.
How long should Ghost Buster be left on the surface?
Ghost Buster should be left to dwell on the affected area for 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the severity of the ghosting or residue. This extended contact time allows the product to break down embedded graffiti shadows or adhesive remnants without the need for harsh scrubbing. For best results, agitate gently with a non-abrasive brush and rinse with clean water. Avoid letting the product dry on the surface.
