I walked outside today at 5:30 am to find my red prelude egged. I just bought it 3 months ago and it was in perfect condition. Well, I washed off the egg with some water and I thought I got it all off. After I got off work 3 hours later, it was still cool out. I went to a car wash and aparently the eggs had eaten the paint. How can I fix this?
If you've done your best to wash it and it still doesn't come out try claying the area. If it's still not removed follow with a polishing compound. Depending on how deep the egg has penetrated the clear coat it may or may not come out.

....sorry to hear about you car man. If the egg sat on your car for a long time then you need to take the clear coat off and repair the paint then reclear. I know this as i had a red integra long ago that had been egged and it left visible stains in the paint, i had to get it repainted in the end. It sucks.....so perhaps you should stake out your sh+t, no man....no problem.....right?
Well I didn't think anyone would every just randomly egg my car. But I guess it is very easy to become jealous of the sexiest car ever made.
And I found out this kid who used to go to my school went out and egged cars all over the city. So I called crimestoppers and also the police department. Hopefully they will catch him in the act. They also tried to get my brother's rsx, but they missed badly. Too bad they hit my lude right on.
If you have comprehensive coverage on your car insurance you may be covered for vandalism. If so, say hello to a new paint job for whatever your deductible is.

My deductable is $1k. I don't want to spend that. haha
But would my rates go up if I ran it through insurance?

My insurance didn't go up when I filed a claim for my car being vandalized a few years back. I got about $3000 worth of body work done for my $200 deductible. Score!

What? Now who would possibly dislike bouckarooo so much that they would egg his car? I don't believe!
There's not much you can do if the paint is chipping. Take it to a body shop is the only solution I know of (either your money or the insurance company's).

Before I got my lude (thank God) I had a '91 Mazda 626. One night apparently some punk highschool kids drove around my part of town and threw big rocks through people's car windows. So I go to drive to work in the morning and my entire rear windshield is smashed out. ****ing ***. Deductible would have cost more so I ended up paying around $200 to get a new one and have it installed.
Parking on the street sucks, I hope one day I will have a garage...and a house to contain that garage!
