Got egged ... need help!!!!

Yea so i was at my girls house and im getting reaqdy to go home and i see some white stuff on the floor and on my car and as i get close i see its eggs... Give the car a quick wash to take off the yolk and all the residue... theres a spider web effect ( paint melted) on the right side just before the door . I plan on waking up at sunrise so the car wont get any sun and take it to get a good wash/ wax ... does anyone know for a good place in Miami, Fl i can take it to early in the morning on sunday? Thanks a lot

Why don't you just wash it yourself (you just need a little soap and water), and if you don't have any, go to an auto supply and buy some polishing compound (safe for clear coats). Then apply a coat of wax.

Do your cleaning in the shade. Good luck.

Garage would be good too. Suggest laying down 100% soap on the affected area (Zaino suggests their soap at 100% as a "bug and tar remover" type solution) and letting it soften the mess, then gently wiping to be sure not to scratch. Clay bar may get off the rest if you still need to do some additional.
All said, I know guys who have actually had paint jobs ruined by this simple act of vandalism.

Good luck, here's wishing the best with the chore.

Cheers,
Derek

If you have the spiderweb effect on the paint (many little dots in a circular shape from where the egg shell hit the paint), there's nothing you can do but repaint the panel. In any event, wash it off asap, the longer you wait the worse it will get.

Where in Miami did it happen so I know to not take my car there?

I agree..
Eggs are the worst
When the explode on impact they embed shrapnel into the paint.
It goes though the clearcoat and the paint below.

Unfortunately... you won't be able to buff/polish it out.

Sort of - when the egg hits the paint around the impact actually cracks from the force. If it were egg bits you could remove them with clay; sadly since the paint is literally cracked there is nothing you can do outside a repaint (which Finiti35 mentioned).

Eggs are one of the only things that cause this kind of damage and it's a total bummer. I can remove pretty much any scratch with my buffer or some touchup/sandpaper; but not egg damage.
