Someone egged my car tonight - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

Came out from a really nice dinner this evening to find egg up the hood and on to the windshield. Glad our motors are not up front and were only 30 min from home.
Still... damm haters.

Isn't that the height of idiocy? I have that at my house every year or so.

I would LOVE to catch those bastards in the act. I guarantee it would not happen again.

:troll:

I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, but get that stuff off there IMMEDIATELY. Raw egg will ruin your paint about as fast a battery acid. Faster maybe.

Yes, all washed up, I had just enough FK1-118SC car wash. My neighbors already think I am overly obsessed with washing my car, can't imagine what they think now after seeing me wash it at 10-pm at night in my dress shirt, pants and shoes.

Mind you I have spent many hours of the last several weekends detailing the exterior (clay, polish glaze, sealant, wax etc). This was the first weekend I did not plan on doing any of that because I was "done" with all the major steps. In the end I think that may have saved my paint. I'll have a better chance to asses things when it is daylight again.

Didn't notice any paint damage when I looked at it during the daylight today. But went ahead and washed it again. Everything all looked fine until I started using the quick detailer... when I sprayed that on the hood it revealed a stain from the egg.

I am guessing I need to strip everything off the affected areas and start over; very frustrating.

As I mentioned above I recently "finished" going through all the major detailing steps, three weekends worth of work. I had two coats of FK2180 (with applications of the FK425 before and after) then 3 coats of FK2685 pink wax.

Any thoughts?

Any thoughts?

Yes. I think you should track down and kill the motherf*ckers that done this to you...but that's just me, always trying to be the voice of reason.

You may want to:

1. Soak a towel in a solution of half warm water and half white vinegar.
2. Place the saturated towel on the egg stain, letting it sit for 15-20 minutes.
3. Remove the wet towel, wipe away remnants and dry the area with a soft, dry towel.
