yo whats up, some time this week, some kids i guss thought it was kool to egg my stang, and it seemed to splatter all the way over to my hatch,luckaly my mustang was dirty, so the egg had no effect on it, but my hatch was clean and it seems no matter what i do i just cant seem to get it off my civic, it like formed into a white crust that wont come off any suggestions?? thanks

 

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.

 

sounds like you are going to have to repaint it.

 

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!!

 

un fortunatly the egg got on the roof, and i woke up late so i notticed it at like 1:00pm so it seemed as tho it is cooked on it i wish i knew who did it

 

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..

I used it on my car...worked fine.

Friends of mine have used it without any problems as well. But its all to your discretion H22AHatch

 

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

 

i wonder will a good wax job keep the egg from killing paint?

 

try meguires x-cut? I used it to remove old bird ****.. work really nice.. like $10 for a small tube.. the tube is black with a big red 'x'... sorry I dont know the actual name....

RUBBING COUMPOUND by Turtle Wax is the one you shouldn't use

 

the vinegar should work i had the same problem on my 4 door and i called my body shop guy and he told me to try that and wax it right away and if that dont work u pretty much have to repaint it but atleast i caught the f*ckers who did it.....i hope you catch the ones that did yours.......when you do catch them do what i did....i told them you ruined my paint so i paint you me and my boys grabbed the 2 little ******* and spray painted as much of there body as we could even there face.....BET THEY WONT EVER THROW AN EGG AGAIN

why are people saying this? my paint was faded and spotted and i used it, its shiny as hell now. anyone care to explain?

 

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

Getting egg off eg

 

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 ****.
