Graffiti on glass
Graffiti on glass doesn’t mean replacing the storefront.
Scratched graffiti and acid graffiti on the surface. Neither one cleans off, because neither one is sitting on top of the glass.
The two kinds
- Scratched. Cut in with a blade, a point or a stone. Lines with a clear start and end, and you can feel them.
- Acid. Applied with a cream or a marker that burns the design into the surface. It runs while it works: it almost always leaves drip tails heading down.
Both end up inside the glass. That is why no cleaner touches them, and why the standard answer is to replace the panel.
What we do
We don’t grind. Polishing means grinding, and grinding leaves a lens that shows from the street. Combined chemical and physical action: the mark is gone and the panel keeps its original properties. It is done in place, without taking the panel out.

What we don’t treat
- Broken or cracked glass — that one does need replacing.
- Coated glass and textured glass.
- Very deep marks close to the frame.
Saying so up front beats a promise we can’t keep.
Price and timing
Both come down to the condition of the piece and where it is. We don’t post a number we can’t hold to: send us a photo and we’ll answer both, and whether it can be brought back or the panel has to be replaced.
