Paint Removers
Our paint removers tackle multiple coating layers on wood, metal, and masonry surfaces. Formulations like Smart Strip PRO remove epoxy, urethanes, and lead-based paints without methylene chloride. Water-based gels cling to vertical surfaces and work in single applications. Professionals use these for industrial projects while DIYers appreciate safety features. Each product includes application guidance to ensure optimal results.

Watch Dog graffiti removers eliminate spray paint and murals from concrete, metal, and porous surfaces. The line includes specialized formulas for smooth or textured surfaces. Non-caustic compositions protect substrates while removing stubborn graffiti. Contractors use these for municipal projects like subway car restoration. Products work quickly to minimize labor costs while meeting environmental regulations.
Lead Encapsulants
Lead Stop encapsulants create protective barriers over lead-based paint. These solutions prevent hazardous dust during abatement projects. Formulations meet EPA standards for residential and commercial use. Contractors apply them on historic buildings and public housing.

Excellent company, I hope more companies join the movement and cull the herd of unvaccinated IDIOTS who continue to make it impossible for this nightmare to end. Keep up the good work!
