Eggs...

My brother's friend wants me to remove this egg stain on his car. I haven't seen it yet, but I imagine I should try clay, AIO, or Meg's paint cleaner. Anything else? I know it mat be super messed up and I won't be able to fix it, but I am hoping it is an easy job. Thanks guy/gals.

when a car is egg'd, it normally causes permanent damage to the paint. the remnants of the egg itself can be cleaned up with a paint cleaner, but the shell is what really causes the damage. when the shell crushes up against the paint, it will leave a ring of MANY small cuts and scratches, most of which will go completely through the paint.

all the more reason why egging cars is a bad idea

hopefully that isn't the case... I'll update once I see/do it.

You can clean that up! I'd think start with a cleaner and see where that takes you.
A few years back I had my new truck parked at my friends while we went away for a few days. Meanwhile, some kids went through a few neighborhoods and egged tons of cars. Long story short, the egss didn;t even mark my car! I simply washed them off and they had been dried on for maybe 2 days total!
