Last night I was babysitting in a REALLY nice neighborhood, after midnight I came out to my new car(seriously I have had for a week.) and someone had egged it, and the egg had frozen. I used steaming hot water last night to clean off as much as I could, and then I parked it in the garage to avoid having the egg bake in the sun....but there is still a lot of egg all over the passenger side door. What should I do?
By the way, I am in college and most of my friends are too mature to egg someones car, plus no one knew where I was. So I am pretty sure it was a random act of stupidity.

That is no good! Call a car cleaning place... I don't know if you have a Turtle Wax, but some kind of legit car wash place. Ask them how you should get egg off. My boyfriend used to have a pearl white Cadillac and one night he got egged. The next morning... when he saw it... he tried to get it out with hot water & it didn't really work. Long short, the egg took the paint off in certain spots. It was horrible! It came off in like, chips.
Ok, think of a dirty dish with egg on it... you cannot just get it off with water, you need to scrub at it and pick at it with your nail - NO NOT DO THAT. That is what we did and it pulled paint with it.
Good luck and DO call a legit car place.

By far the best way to get the egg off is to put straight white vinigar in a garden sprayer and spray it on the effected area. Vinigar contains something to break down the egg proteins, (check some science site). Let it soak for about five minutes then spray the vinigar on again, dont let the vinigar dry therefore it is recomended to do this at night make sure you give it at least two sprays of vinigar or more. Then after ten minutes from the last time you sprayed the vinigar hose it off well you can use a pressure cleaner but it is not nessecary a hose will work fine this will even remove hard baked on egg to some degree with several trys it will be good as new... Cheers

You need to take it to a carwash soon. Eggs are really bad for the paint.

I would have filed a police report first...
Pretty unbelievable.... Really sorry that happened... I wonder what kind of people raised the person or persons who would do such a thing... Ugh...
