    I knocked out graffiti like this every day for years. It depends on what type of stone it is, the kind of paint and the chemicals used to remove it. Some porous stone is almost impossible. Maybe you can lay a poultice on it. Worse case scenario, I had an artist on my crew that could paint match the stone and blend in what ever ghost was left over after power washing failed.

    parent root
    -7 points DayOneDude

    There is a zero percent chance that this is any type of commercial spray paint, regardless of the stone or the sealant that was put on the stone as a protectant. Watch when he sprays the lower leg of the swastika the left leg washes off with no pressure at all.

    I have done my fair share of pressure washing and this is not what would happen in the real world.

    For nearly 100 years, the Swastika has been associated with the Nazis, who used genocide and eugenics to secure power for the Aryan (white) race. Nazi rallies and officials openly hated anyone that did not toe their line.
