No joke this time - some little brat has been 'creative' with spray
paint and I need to remove it, any ideas would be appreciated - aside
of those I have already thought of like stringing the little %$% up!

Was it Elmer Fudd? is it on your car? if so T-Cut should remove it, not sure about walls though

On the house wall, would you believe it! Re-painting the whole
wall is out of the question and painting over the patch is also
not an option. Wondered about turps but don't know....Not as
creative as Elmer Fudd, just the usual signature type scribble,
but a foot high and twice, in red ....like go practice learning to
write somewhere else!!!

well a friend has said white spirit watered down shouldn't get rid of the paint underneath, (i don't know if that's the same as turps!)

Cool, thanks and worth a try - thank you!!!

Thanks one and all, but we have had an even better result,log
this info. just in case for future reference.

Try your local council - even if your property is private -
that's what we were advised to do.
The council here are trying to clean up the area
and will remove graffiti free of charge if it is reported and is
in a visible/unsightly place that is noticable (which ours is)
this is in order to make the place look better and cleaner.
They hope to be down in a few days to get rid of it for us, so a
great result!!!!!!!!!
