Default removing egg?

Car got egged last night by ricers... I counted 6 circles from the impact... hosed it off last night, mom hosed it off this morning... I washed it 2 times... used rubbing compound twice...
These badboys aren't going anywhere... Anyone got any ideas? claybar maybe?

I've had to get them repainted. Good luck with whatever you do though. Eggs are a pain in the a**

Well I think I've seen people post from time to time that peanut butter is good for removing wax (go figure), so (and I know this is a stretch) try removing one food (egg) with another (the peanut butter). Other than that, I use xylene on my daily driver cavalier to remove tar and other crap, its a pretty nasty solvent, but has not seemed to harm the paint, not sure if I would use it on my 02 Formula, but if I was desprate I would give it a shot, or any other solvent for that matter, tolulene, bug & tar remover etc.

WTF is up with these ricers did they post it up on the boards to go egg domestics? I got hit last weekend, I heard a fart can pull up in front of the house and two seconds later it revv'ed up and took off, I went outside to see WTF was going on and 3 eggs were all over the car. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
I caught it before it dried, but my buddy who lives about 2 blocks away didn't catch it till the next morning. He had a heck of a time getting it off but got it off with
WD-40 just make sure you get that stuff off with a strong car soap or dish soap then throw some wax over the area you used it on.

Try Bug & Tar remover or White Vinegar, both work fantastic at removing **** from the paint.

There is definitely something afoot. I got four eggs on my rear while parked in the driveway. However, I live in a very rural area of Maryland, and I happened to be outside restringing my bow at the time. 120 grain hunting tips do wonders on both rear tires, and I do compete in archery contests. Someone should tell these brats that a fart can is NOT meant for stealth driving. I got the egg off withing one minute of landing. I di take pictures of the eggs in case the cops showed up (they did), so I could file a conterclaim of vandalism when they attempted to press charges (they dropped them).

HA. It happened twice as bad to my friend. We came home late one night, and the next morning, some kids sucked on Lifesavers and stuck at least 20 of them on his Stang. Im glad i left the badboy at home <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> It completely took his paint off.
Really i think all that **** is the pussyiest thing anyone can do. Go kick the **** outta them, go even egg their house (if ur into eggs i guess?).. but dont mess with their car

Sorry to hear about all the egging incidents guys. That is completely unacceptable. You simply don't f*ck with a man's car. There's nothing more cowardly in my estimation. Before trying any extreme solvents or rubbing compounds I'd try the basics. Wash the car with Dawn then clay bar it. I'd go with bug $ tar remover next. I hope it works out for you guys.

<thank god for my garage>

Retinal-scarring purple is tough to miss. Inside are usually 5 kids (in a Tercel, no less) that think a fart can and a cold air kit gives them McLaren F1 performance. Usually they pull up next to me in the morning on the way to work. NORMALLY, I don't go crazy, as I am a responsible adult with a wife and kids, and I go just fast enough to make them merge in behind me. About a week and a half ago, though, I notices a new sticker on the side of their econo-box. It was a lovely "Camaros Suck!" lettering job. Well, that morning, I gave them all 8 redlining all the way. Now one of these bright young children let it be known that someone installed nitrous in that little box, as you could see them jerk like scared kittens in my rear view mirror. It didn't help. I slowed down enough to let them catch me on the next light, and asked them if they wanted to take the sticker off. You can guess the response I got.

Yes, they tried to flee. A tire puncture does not cause explosive decompression, unless a large area is affected at once, or it is overheated due to extreme speeds. It's a slow deflate that would cause them to have two flats about 10 minutes away. If they caught it, they would have needed to call a tow truck. If they didn't catch it, they would need to buy new wheels.

I don't want to be a riceist (I spelled it the way I wanted to), but things like this REALLY brings down their collective popularity.

i have heard of the peanut butter thing b4, but i say try some clay magic that **** works wonders not to fun either, you can use the stuff that comes with it or you can use palmolive, and when you find out who did it, you use aircraft striper on there car so they understand how pissed you are. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
