Sorry to hear about that. You did the right thing by washing the car as soon as you could. The unfortunate thing is if the egg is not almost immediately removed it will start etching into the clear coat (which sounds like what happened). My first step would be to try some compound or aggressive polish with a polisher. If that doesn't cut it you might have to resort to wet sanding. Any professional detailer should be able to take care of it for you. One of our team members lives in Rancho Cucamonga, who I know would be able to help you out. Let me know if you need his info.

X 11. Devil's night is always a night to keep the eyes open. Thank God for the garage holding the cars, but I keep a vigilant eye that night to protect my neighborhood, too. I can see TP'ing a tree, maybe even silly stringing a lamp or something that will cause no real harm, but touching someone's property and doing damage that costs money to repair have no place. I never did it, even had many opportunities, but my parents trusted me because I had earned it.

Sorry to hear about your predicament, mang. Hopefully you can get it worked out fairly inexpensively.

I just dont see the value of egging someone's car. I guess thats my opinion. I just dont see any point in it. Good luck with getting this out. I hope its not penetrated the clear coat. By the way it sounds, it already has. Take some before and after pictures, if you can. Good luck. I hope it comes out.

egging someone's ride serves no purpose, unless it's to really get back at someone you despise. but there are so many better methods to doing so. best of luck trying to get it all out, especially if it penetrated the clear coat. ugh, i love halloween for the candy and cuties in their naughtiest, but if there was one downside to it, it would be the egging, which has happened more often over the past few years on my block. best of luck!
