So the spring on our garage door broke a couple days ago and the repair guys are coming out today. I moved my car onto the street last night so I wouldn't have to wake my roommate up early to help me lift the garage door (it's solid wood panelling). To my horror, when I went to my TSX this morning, some punk had egged it. Egg was everywhere...windsheild, roof, doors, etc. They unloaded an entire carton.
I ran to the car wash on the way to work but there is still traces of egg and scratches from where the eggs impacted my paint. This is worse than a door ding...have any of you ever been egged and what did you do to remedy? Sand, polish and wax or does a little elbow grease get the stuff out?
This is a sad sad day...my beautiful NBP has been perfect up until now.

Wow! Why would someone egg your TSX? If it's any consolation, at least you didn't have brake fluid poured on it.

I don't understand why people have to do that sort of things to other people's property. Pisses me off to think about it. Hope you get it resolved and back to its prior condition.

Correct. A good polishing with a Porter Cable will take car of it and any other minor scratches too.

Thanks for everyone's condolences and advice. Hopefully it will stay dry long enough for me to try the clay bar and scratch x.

Needs more Lemon Pledge
unfortunately, often the impact of the shell edges (after breaking) damage the paint. Get the residue off ASAP, and then use a paint cleaner like AIO, etc.. to see how bad the damage really is. If needed, use a PC and a light abrasive polish. As a last resort, do the "door ding" paint repair process.

that sux, there isn't much worse than egg on the paint of a car, I have had it happen a couple of times, I usually disappear on Halloween night, just in case the eggs are flying around my house.
