Someone egged my two cars and after washing and using adapt and vex and dawn the eggs are not coming off. Anybody have any suggestions. Cars are Mazda 3 2015 and 2003 Honda Pilot.
Thanks,
Chris

Can you post some pictures of the paint? Usually the hard shell etches the paint on impact, and there is nothing you can do other than repaint.
 
WOW, a repaint is needed due to eggs??? I got eggs on my car the other day cause it was my birthday, I know, not cool, I just detailed the whole car :angry:

Good thing it was parked under a carport on a cold night and only went through another cold morning before I was able to rinse it. I`ve never know that eggs are that bad to paint :blink:
`
Question here, does pouring milk on a car do that much damage as well?


OP, have you tried vinegar or goo gone?
 
So we have worked it down so that you can still see it but not feel it. So a repainted I guess is necessary. Thanks for all your replies. Now the question is can I convince the wife to have the pilot replaced.;)

It is not the actual liquid of the egg that etches the paint. (Please correct me if I am wrong) It could leave some staining like a bird dropping, but should be easy to clean up if wiped off ASAP. The one factor that does the most damage to the paint, is the actual shell of an egg. When it is thrown and makes contact with the paint, it fractures and cuts into the paint leaving deep scratches/chips that cuts through the clear coat and even base coat in some circumstances.

Here is a link with a couple pictures that show the imprint chipping of an egg: Imprint Chips - Chips in the paint caused by a thrown egg

Thanks for the explanation Ray!!
 
So the runs from the albumin left streaks that can not be buffed out. So I believe both shell and contents damage the paint.

Yes, if the egg is left on the paint for too long it will stain or etch, just like a bird bomb/dropping. Anything can harm the paint, eggs, in my book, are at the top of the list of most harmful things to touch paint.
 
I am inquiring now. The cost Estimate for the Mazda is 1500, the pilot which needs a complete paint job is maacco 1000, a good place 4000.

If you use Maaco, it will be the worst excuse for paint job ever - the reason its so cheap..
They might scuff the paint with steel wool before painting, so guess how long its going to last...
Good luck,

I did all the paint prep work and dismantling before taking mine to Macoo....and they still did a rushed job,not a huge deal breaker for me since I was on a strict budget but there was overspray on my tires,fender wells,headlights,glass weather strip etc... and their "chip repair" is a scam.

I should have done the masking job myself as well,I thought they would be able to handle that well but they didn`t.
