Car egged

[CMRsi]

Last night some scumbag threw an egg at my car (and some windows of flats in the block). I have removed all the eggy crap, but a circular cluster of scratches has been left on the door - presumably from where the egg impacted. I have tried to polish out to no avail. I assume this is now a respray job, unless anyone has any ideas?! I am completely livid to say the least.

if they are just small scratches and not down to the paint/primer then take it to a bodyshop and get them to mop it, or get someone on here to use their PC on it, would prob get out most scratches, apart from deep ones

 

[Jonaldinho]

Tw*ts!

Go with Moles idea, shouldnt require a full respray.

 

[CMRsi]

A PC might do it, but they quite deep, paint is v rough in the affected area. Looks like its down to primer though. Ill definately be trying that first though. Heres a pic

Ive heard that too

 

[CMRsi]

ive heard various rumours about egg doing damage to paint. lets hope theyre not true! gave it a good waxing a couple of weeks back, so that may have lessened damage?

[Mole]

porter cable, its a random orbit polisher, youll find a few posts on this forum about it, like how to buy it etc

theres a difference to the electric polishers u get from halfords and argos to these proper ones, these are the sortof polishers bodyshops will use.

Check out this thread on another forum, shows the results u get from using the right stuff with the polisher

I have had 2 eggs thrown at my car over the years.



They do ALOT of paint damage and I have 2 marks exactly the same as in the picture above.

I am not totally convinced its the impact of the egg or iff the egg actually eats the paint a bit

 

[jaf78]

Last halloween i parked my car outside my local supermarket and when i came out a few eggs had been thrown at my 306. Its a nightmare to get the egg white off. I was picking bits off for days.

 

[welsh182]

My wife had eggs thrown at her metallic black 156 one halloween and it marked eggsactly like that, chipped right throught the paint tho and would not cut out.

 

[Toypop]

Same thing happened to my old mans Vectra on halloween a few years back. Two eggs hit it, one on the bonnet and one of the mirror. Took the paint right down to the primer in a similar pattern to the picture above.
