stroupe79 Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 here is why eggs fuck up your paint.... The egg white (also referred to as the albumen) is made up of 15 percent of proteins. Its main purpose is to protect the yolk while providing nutrients to the embryo. Because of its protective composition, egg whites are used for several purposes, including waterproof glue, so it's easy to understand how this part of the egg can dry and then stick to the surface of car paint. If it is not dealt with quickly, it can become extremely difficult to remove from the surface of the car without wet sanding and repainting the damaged area.The egg yolk is suspended inside the egg by the egg white. The yolk contains fatty acids and is responsible for the fat, cholesterol and most of the calories found in an egg. Egg yolk was once used to make paint because of its natural ability to harden and stick to almost any surface. The chemical composition of the egg yolk will eat through clear coat on the surface of car paint--in addition to staining the paint--if not removed from the surface of the paint immediately. Egg shells break relatively easily, and when thrown at high velocity, the shells will shatter into sharp shards. The shards of the shells can cause superficial scratches to the surface of the protective clear coat on a car and, in some cases, penetrate the clear coat, scratching the paint. http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup)
WillPwn4Food Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Posted February 3, 2013 Fuuuuck... I'm stuck at work for another 5 hours. Idk of there's any DIY car washes open past 11. I'll be super pissed if i can tell where it hit when I was it off. I waxed it/ polished it this summer. Would that hopefully help make a difference?

WillPwn4Food Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Posted February 4, 2013 Buddy has tokens to a car wash so I can go to that for free. Bad idea to pressure wash it after scrubbing a bit with a brush?

stroupe79 Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 water vinegar mix soaked towel, let it sit on it a few minutes, wash it off and repeat, hopefully the wax helps a bit, but that acid in the yolk is what really gets after your clear/paint...hope it's not that bad.....maybe the fact it's probably frozen will slow the effects... http://www.stevemead...cherokee-build/ 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Alpine CDE-hd148bt Alpine PKG-RSE2 PRV Audio (4) 6MB200 front/rear doors PRV Audio (4) TW350Ti dash/rear doors Kicker KX350.4 Obsidian Audio (1) 18 D4 v2 revamp (2) Stereo Integrity HT 18d2DC Audio 1.2k5.25ft^3 tuned @34hz revamp Infinite Baffle Cpillar AudioTechnix 60mil deadenerKnuKonceptz & SkyHigh wire (complete setup)
OrionStang Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 Isn't it a 96 or so Taurus? Its old, and Ford paint sucks, so you're probably already fucked. I mean, how good was the paint to begin with anyway? SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
herbykw Posted February 4, 2013 Report Posted February 4, 2013 I had a 02 Monte Carlo that someone egged a few years ago. I washed it off and didn't have any problems but the shell did scratch the paint. You could tell how the egg hit the car. Looked like a spider Webb about 2" round.
