Etched and Acid Etched Graffiti Removal in Sydney

Looking for an alternative to replacing graffiti-damaged glass?

Etched and acid etched graffiti causes an irreversible chemical reaction to the glass surface, and it won't come off with cleaning alone.

In most cases, the only way to deal with it is to either replace the glass entirely, or polish it down past the damage to reveal a clear surface underneath.

Replacing large panes of glass takes time and money, and often means living with the damage for weeks while new glass is sourced and installed. Polishing offers a faster, more cost-effective alternative, removing the etched layer and restoring the glass to a clear finish without a full replacement.


We provide etched and acid etched graffiti removal across Sydney CBD, Greater Sydney and the Northern Beaches, for shopfronts, office buildings, apartment blocks and public infrastructure.

Fast graffiti removal across Sydney CBD, Greater Sydney and the Northern Beaches

Speed matters when it comes to graffiti. Rapid removal is widely recognised as best practice in graffiti reduction, since leaving etched damage visible for any length of time only encourages repeat vandalism on the same property. The longer it stays, the greater the reward for the people responsible, and the more likely you are to see it happen again.


Our team can be mobilised at short notice to assess and treat etched or acid etched glass, minimising both the time the damage is visible and the disruption that comes with a full glass replacement. Using professional polishing equipment, we work the etching out of the glass surface, restoring clarity without needing to remove or replace the pane.


This approach works across a wide range of settings, from ground-floor shopfronts and public transport infrastructure to high-rise office towers and apartment buildings, wherever etched graffiti has affected the glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can etched or acid etched graffiti be removed from glass?

    Yes. Because the etching causes a permanent chemical change to the glass surface, it can't be cleaned off, but it can be polished down past the damage to reveal a clear finish underneath.

  • Does the glass need to be replaced if it has been etched?

    Not necessarily. Polishing is often a faster and more cost-effective alternative to full glass replacement, particularly for larger panes.

  • How quickly can you respond to a graffiti incident?

    We can typically be mobilised at short notice. Rapid removal is best practice for graffiti reduction, so we prioritise getting to affected properties quickly.

  • Will polishing weaken the glass?

    No, when carried out by trained professionals using the right equipment, polishing does not compromise the strength or integrity of the glass.

  • Does removing etched graffiti leave any marks behind?

    This depends on the extent and type of staining. Light surface staining can often be removed within a few hours, while more severe or widespread staining may take longer.

  • What types of properties do you treat for graffiti damage?

    We treat shopfronts, office buildings, apartment blocks, public transport infrastructure and other commercial or government properties across Sydney CBD, Greater Sydney and the Northern Beaches.
