The growing culture of graffiti is spreading everywhere as the omnipresence of graffiti is not leaving any area out of its wings. The restless and defiant youth of today's world are making sure that graffiti removal from glass becomes hard for authorities and governments alike. Graffiti requires simple tools like paints, sprayers, brushes and etching tools that are available in market cheaply which makes it even more irresistible for reckless offenders.

Most of the times, the sole purpose of graffiti is vandalism and vandals often target any property that comes under their eye sight. People involved in graffiti for fun make use of any area to show off their art but people having motive of damaging others' properties target particular area to express their anger. Identifying locations that are targeted by graffiti and how to effectively remove graffiti from glass as soon as it appears on the property is top priority of city authorities that see high rate of graffiti related offences.

Graffiti is a costly blight that impacts society on many levels. The direct cost of graffiti removal from glass costs the economy billions of dollars per year and this does not include the damage to private businesses which carries an additional huge expense. Unfortunately for business owners, graffiti on glass is on the rise, often scratched or etched in the glass with a rock, broken glass or even acid. As a result, business owners can quickly become frustrated with the issue especially once they learn the high price of trying to remove etchings from glass or replacement glass which can be time consuming and costly repair.

In the recent years a number of specialists have entered the market offering professional restoration services to remove scratches from glass or remove graffiti from glass or other damage from glass surfaces. These service companies will typically set an initial appointment to evaluate the damage to see if it is restorable and to give you an approximate cost for the repair. Once the work is approved, an appointment is set for the work to be done.

A typical restoration process involves the initial cleaning of the surface followed by a grinding and then polishing phase which gets to remove etchings from glass or other damage and brings the glass back to its original clarity and luster. The grinding and polishing phases typically involve the use of specialized abrasives and polishing compounds that are applied with power tools. Depending on the severity of the damage, restoration can often be considerably less cost than replacing the glass. As a preventative measure, most window film companies are now offering anti graffiti film to protect glass surfaces; the film is applied and acts as a sacrificial barrier.
