How to Successfully Get Egg Off Your Car

Have you ever gone out side to your car and saw something very disturbing on the side of it? It's a gooey, sticky substance and you can't believe it's there. It's an egg! Vandals have targeted your car and may be other people's cars on your street. Having egg on your car can be such a nuisance. Egg on your car is not a pretty sight, and also it can be very difficult to get off if it has been sitting on your car for a couple of days unnoticed.

Is there a remedy to getting egg off your car? First off, try to clean your car off the egg residue as soon as it is discovered. The longer it sits on the car, the harder it is to get off, if it ever completely comes off. Remove the non dried egg shell pieces off the car by hand. With a soft clean towel, try to wipe up as much of the egg as you can. Make sure you do not scratch the paint with the eggshell remnants.

In a bucket, mix half water with half white vinegar and soak a towel in it. Place the completely wet towel on the egg stains and let it sit for approximately 15-20 minutes. After the minutes are up, remove the wet towel and wipe away the remaining egg remnants with a dry soft towel.

It may be necessary to take your car to an auto body shop if there was paint damage done to your car. Sometimes egg residue on a car can cause the paint to crack, crinkle, scratch it or bubble the paint up. You may need to have the car spot painted or completely repainted. Having egg on your car is no fun at all, nor is having to get it off.

The best way not to become a victim of needless car egging is to buy a car cover for your car. Very rarely will an egger lift up a car cover to egg someone's car. They are more concerned about getting away than going through all of that trouble. If you live in an area where you can not use car covers, try to park in a very well lit area and frequented by people often.

If getting your car egg seems to be inevitable, try to keep an eye out for neighborhood vandals. Vandalism is a crime and can be punishable by law. So though you may not be able to protect your car this time, you may be able to protect it next time by getting the culprits off of the street.
