Egg Removal

[Tbone06]

So i woke up this afternoon to find my car covered in egg :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Can anyone suggest the best way to remove it?

[blackpepper]

What'd you do? It's not even Halloween yet...

Remove it quickly! Heavy soap to lift the egg off the paint and gentle continuous scrubbing and it should come off.. the hard parts you can use a clay bar and some quick detailer then wash it again..

[Tbone06]

Fookin kids :p

Dont even know how long its been on there for.
Got hammered last night so left the jeep home and woke up w/ the stuff all over the driverside ... Paint, molding and skirts...

Wow those kids are lucky i didnt catch em

[Scottina06]

oh man....this sucks! Wash it immediately! The sad part is the eggs probably left what I call "egg dings" Its gonna take some work to get rid of those from your clearcoat. Do you have experience using any kind of compound or polish?

[Tbone06]

Doesnt look like they hit it dead on .. more of a drive by the way its all over the side.. Dont see any dings!!

No experience in either but i always wanted to learn, guess nows a better time than ever huh :lol:

Gonna use super hot water to soften it up along w/ some car wash soap, just afraid that its so hard now im gonna end up scratchin the paint .....
GAH

Also the stock skirts are stained white where the egg is, hope it doesnt stay on like wax does.

Use armor all for the skirts.. and since they're plastic don't be afraid to scrub hard at them with a towel.

The hot water is a great idea, the yolk should break apart much easier.

[Scottina06]

do not use armor all on anything...sorry ryano. It will set the stain in the plastic. The soap should get it off.....if not let me know. there are products to remove stains from plastic like that.

Thanks for the help fellas

So i cleaned it up and now i see the dings :(
Im not to worried about the Side molding (downstate is hooking me up w/ a set when he replaces his w/ painted ones) and the skirts i have some srt8 waiting in the basement to get painted....
But wow did that egg do some damage .. what do you guys think i should do about this.. it went past paint i see primer :confused:

its the shells that does the damage....I think you can get most of that out though. I suggest trying some Meguiers scratchx first. It can be found at most auto parst stores.

[Tbone06]

LOL knew i should have gotten White :eek:

Ill give that a whirl thanks!!

[Scottina06]

you may want to buy some swirlx as well to use after the scratchx. I would then top it witht he wax or sealant of your choice

What swirls ;) LOL
Yeah gonna pick some of that up asap, got a light haze in the area i used the scratchx as well! Thanks Scott
Some of the marks toned down.... unfortunately they are still pretty noticable (past the paint)

:confused:

Yeah thanks Mike, looks like im gonna have to use some touch up on the deep scratches ... Damn never new an egg could do sooo much damage

So here's the results from the scratchx

I would file a police report. you never know....they could have been caught and there are other victims....

[Tbone06]

Was thinking about doing this, same thing happened to my roommates car around 6 months ago... Alot of stupid kids around my area...

Should never have parked in the street :p
My roomie just picked up a new g37 coupe so i gave him my spot since i already use one w/ my work truck ... looks like the commercial truck is going in the street now .. hope i dont get any tickets!!

BTW yes you should have. ,LOL but that does suck. Sorry to hear. I wish I caught the fukers that broke into my Rodeo and stole my deck, amp, and subs.

[B.P.O.D]

sorry to hear that bro!!! i'd def file a police report. you could get the entire area repainted by paying your deductible on your insurance.
