Welcome back to the Lean and Mean Academy! Today, I've got something special for you—graffiti removal. I know many of you are interested in high-ticket, quick-turnaround jobs, and graffiti cleaning is one of the best ways to achieve that. We're heading over to the east side where a pawn shop got tagged overnight. The owner was desperate to get it cleaned up fast to avoid scaring off customers, and I was happy to help. Let’s dive into how I tackled this job and made $500 in about 30 minutes.
The Job: Graffiti Removal at a Pawn Shop
Graffiti can make a business look run-down and unprofessional, which is why prompt removal is so crucial. The pawn shop owner contacted me urgently, and I quoted them $500 for the job. They prepaid without hesitation—proof that there’s good money in this line of work when you’re efficient and reliable.
Preparation and Equipment
Before heading out, I made sure to load up with everything I needed. Even though the shop had a water outlet, I brought my own water supply just in case. Graffiti removal can be unpredictable, so it's best to come prepared. The first step was to test a small area with my graffiti remover to ensure it would lift the paint without damaging the surface.
The Process: Remove, Agitate, Rinse, Repeat
-
Initial Test Spot: Always start with a small test area. In this case, the graffiti came off just as I expected.
-
Chemical Application: I used a specialized graffiti remover that works quickly and effectively. If you want to know the exact product, text "Mad Max" to 31996 to get the details. It's a potent chemical that I highly recommend.
-
Agitation: Agitation is key in graffiti removal. It’s free and often necessary to ensure all the paint is removed. I applied the graffiti remover, let it dwell, and then scrubbed the area.
-
Rinsing: After scrubbing, I rinsed the area thoroughly. Sometimes, you may need to go over the same spot multiple times to remove shadows or residue fully.
Results and Timing
Within 45 minutes, the graffiti was completely gone, and the pawn shop looked brand new again. The job took about 30 minutes of active work time, and I used less than a quarter of a gallon of chemical. That's a solid return on investment, especially when you consider that with the right chemicals, you can earn up to $2,000 per gallon.
The Key to High-Ticket Jobs
Why was I able to command $500 for such a quick job? Two reasons: urgency and ranking. The client needed the job done after hours and was willing to pay a premium. Additionally, I rank well for graffiti removal in my area, which brings in high-value leads.
