first off you find out who the little ***** were and **** on their heads, then you make them figure out a way to clean the ****...

actually in reality though, have you tried a polishing comound? (Turtlewax makes some in a small greaan and white container...like 2 bucks at wal-mart)

If that doesnt work, umm....really really really fine sand paper? Ive never tried it, so dont try it until someone comfirms it. And then either buff it out and/or use the polishing compound? IM pulling this method out of my ***...so dont try it until its confirmed.

yea like what he said up there. try compound or a clay bar. if not then lightly sand with 1500-2000 grit then buff it out.

The polishing compound (Turtlewax, etc) that SleepyDX is referring to will dull your paint. DO NOT USE IT ON YOUR PAINT!!

i have never dealt with eggs and such but i recently searched how to take off water spots and you use distilled vinegar on water spots...but after you use the vinegar, u have to wax your car right aways...vinegar eats away the wax...

u can try that...

but i wouldnt sand ur car though...thats just my opinion..

well since the egg dried..it will most likely eat you paint... that sucks i know so you will probably need to get reapainted...

i wouldnt use that cheap compound crap... go to a auto store and buy 3M rubbing compound they use with buffers, dont use a buffer use your hand and a cloth, it comes in a big black bottle, its under $20, its the best stuff you can buy, if that dont work your screwed

Rubbing compound takes all the oxidation off of your paint. Thats why its shiny

obviously you dont use rubbing compound everytime you wash your car. I did it because my car was dull, then I WAXED it. I will probably do it again in the future when it gets dull. (these are my last efforts before splurging for a new paintjob) I guess if you did overuse it (like everytime you washed your car, which would be pretty stupid to do) then it would definately fade. But as stated above, just try the compound then wax the ****.
