my q's are..
1. wat other steps should i take to keep my paint from detiriorating from the attack...
2. how do i get rid of the smell... im scared it'll smell like rotten eggs after a couple of days...

thanks in advanced guys!!

well... guess you're lucky that the eggshell didn't hit the paint much... the paint would've gotten completely f*'d up.. (clear coat eaten up... possible cracks/scratches)

hmm... a complete hose down with alot of soap would've been the very 1st thing that should've been done after the hit (which seems like you've done)

any egg stains can be treated with a warm solution of 50/50 warm water/vinegar that's on a towel.. let the towel sit on any affected parts of paint for a few minutes and then wipe away with a soft clean towel

as far as the smell... you might need to have that professionally cleaned out.

coletrein

yea.. i was drivin home.. i just got home rite now... im tired.. do you u think it'll be ok if i do the 50/50 thing tomorrow??

SquallLHeart

is ALLL the egg off?

kdog_1981

did u spray under the windshield wipers??

coletrein

yes!! all the egg was off...i was there for like half an hour sprayin every part of the car makin sure of it... it's dark.. ull neverr know wer else the egg ended up!! lol!! yea wen i wipe my windshield it lleaves a residue... nd wiper hop is now present... hopefuly the rain washes wat i missed....

o yea nd i also noticed that on the parts that got egged... the water doesnt bead as well as the other parts... it's weird it's just smooth... so idk the explanation for that one is??

coletrein

ok... so i just went out for further examimation of my car... nd.. i am not very happy.. my clear on the front/hood/fender has some faded spots on the clear especially on the hood area... nd a couple of places wer i have chipped paint.. o nd did i for get to mention the egg shaped spider web crack on my hood? its horrible....

i wonder how much damage they caused? ill find out by this week..

If you have comprehensive coverage, that's vandalism and it's covered.

MrMcNuggett

That sucks..... my white Xb got egged the other day also...I got the spider web cracks and some paint chips ....can't tell it the clear is coming off....I hate people that do stuff like that. I got a 500 dollar deductible so I am going to leave it the way it is....and maybe paint the car later on a two tone or something.

coletrein

yea but i kinda wanna get it fixed asap..

is comprehensive the same as full coverage?

Scikotic-tC-

where abouts did that happen?

sddykstr

Comprehensive is extra, like 7 bucks a month or something. It's totally worth it.

MrMcNuggett

what does comprehensive cover? I might look into it if it is worth it.

sucks man, good thing it didnt mess up your paint.

coletrein

o it did mess up the paint.. nd i was talking to my folks.. im jus gon hav to leave the damage there.. it sucks.. im broke ill try to buff it out or sumthin..

Scikotic-tC-

Would always having a good coat of wax offer protection in situations like these? I mean a nice thick coat of s100 or something...

YourNameHere

be happy it wasnt bologna! that will really mess ya up.

dont use wax, you will just seal up what ever is on the paint. go get some GOOD polish and cleaner (meguiars has a 3 step program, cleaner, polish, wax). good luck

as for the smell. take the cowl off and hose it down. and up. and sideway.

maybe try a claybar as well. sorry for that, just know karma works its magic.
