Is there something with a clear coat that I could paint/spray on my walls so I could clean them more easily?

Last month I repainted the doors and edges and some of the trim in my house; I used the same thing the former owners of this house used, which was a cheaper tinted paint from Walmart. It does not wash up as easily as I'd like, and I was just wondering what I could do about this, other than completely repainting all this stuff with a more expensive paint. This paint can be wiped off a couple of times, but after that the dirt just seems to soak in and it won't come clean. I have just used a damp cloth - maybe I should be using something else to clean it with? Any suggestions would be appreciated!Is there something with a clear coat that I could paint/spray on my walls so I could clean them more easily?
Try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. They will clean anything off a wall, and won't leave it looking like it's been scrubbed.Is there something with a clear coat that I could paint/spray on my walls so I could clean them more easily?
After 5 kids and with 4 grandkids, all I can tell you is that 'polyurethane' (spelling) has been a wall saver for me. It will make your walls shiny tho. If you should use this make sure you use a water based and not oil based polyurethane. Good luck.
I always use a gloss or semi gloss because it does clean better. Flats will was away. I guess you could try a coat of polyurethane on it. It comes in spray cans too. That would seal it okay. Good luck.
if you use a clear-coat, you have to roll it on as if you were rolling on another coat of paint. so why not up the sheen level one with the same color of paint that's on the wall? if you do choose a poly clear-coat, choose minwax water based, satin finish. HOWEVER, it cannot be applied by a normal roller, you need to use a sponge roller for smooth surfaces, or else the poly will have tiny bubbles in the finish. plus, you'll just be sealing in those stains that wouldn't come out. as far as oil-based polys, they yellow over time. the easiest, cheapest thing to do is repaint it with a higher sheen, and consider the experience valuable for your next paint project. behr paint is a very decent paint (interior, at least) as well as affordable. it's at home depot. dunn edwards is the best.
First; one cannot expect much of commercial house


paint (or almost any paint) from the big box and


discount stores. You really get what you pay for with


paint so stay away from the discount stores. There are


so many ad dollars loaded in quality cannot go in the


can. Heck you can buy interior wall paint at Walmart


for $7 a gallon! The can and label cost $1.50 so that


leaves $5.50. Walmart made a profit so how much


quality do you think went in the can? Zip, zero Nada!


And yet there are long lines in the paint department.


It's the same story at HD, Lowes, Menards and others.


Quality is considerably better with products from the


global giants such as SW, ICI and Valspar but the same


rule of economics applies; big ad dollars, thousands


of salesmen and big administration means quality


cannot go in the can. There is no argument that when


you buy paint you are paying for their ad and


administration budget.





There are five kinds of latex resin with 100% acrylic


being at the top of the pile for quality. I wouldn't


apply anything in an outdoor architectural application


except 100% acrylic and you are unlikely to find 100%


acrylic at the box stores. Even if you did it would be


lacking in other ingredients such as binders and solid


content. One of the best telltales for judging quality


is to look at the back of the label where it lists


solid content by volume. This isn't an ad for Top


Secret Coatings products, just a fact. Our products


always include higher solid content by volume which


equals quality. It's also why our products spread


further, adhere better and last longer. So what you


have been buying is part of the problem.





Another key to getting better results is choosing the


right product. As stated previously 100% acrylic is


very useful stuff. It is used in a wide variety of


applications including interior, exterior and some


marine applications, however, it is good to note than


unless you get an acrylic rated for marine


applications don't except it to be waterproof. Acrylic


is typically water resistant which is a whole lot


different than waterproof. Architectural paints must


breathe or the structure may get mold and mildew going


inside.





Solvent based epoxy has the highest possible adhesion


rating, it has excellent chemical resistance and its


tough but there are problems with it. It is completely


inflexible, won't take heat past 140F and chalks,


discolors and looses its gloss way too fast. Two


component urethane is a big improvement over epoxy.


Two component urethanes are colorfast, gloss retentive


and have better heat and flexibility properties than


two component epoxies. Good alkyds are also a good


option but I don't want to take all day to get to the


point here.





We have a cool and unusual product I would like to


suggest. It is Top Secret Coatings 1 Part Epoxy. It is


a silicone based mono-epoxy with alkyd and urethane in


it making it a blend. We came up with this product


because of the problems associated with two component


epoxy and urethanes. 1 Part Epoxy retains the


desirable aspects of two component epoxy and urethane


without the mixing. Like typical epoxy it has the


highest possible adhesion rating, its waterproof and


has excellent chemical resistance. It is tremendously


flexible and hard making it durable. It takes heat to


400F, impacts to 500PSI and won't crack, peel or


chalk. It is a high performance, low build coating so


it goes on much thinner than paint. In fact it will


cover white with black at only 1 mil which is unheard


of. A sheet of paper is 4 mils. We've seen people get


well over 800 sq ft out of one gallon because it


covers so well. That makes it very economical to use.


Since it is so flexible, has such good adhesion and


low film build it can be applied direct to almost any


surface.





I hope this information is useful.
Cris you just need a better paint
You need to buy a clear coat graffiti prof paint nothing sticks to it most commercial buildings in Australia use it .
