I have to leave my car parked outside because of on going projects in the garage. My car, garage door and cement siding got egged Friday night. I got the majority off but there is still some lingering that won't scrub off. Anyone have hints from Heloise?
 
I am an insurance claims adjuster - I have seen MANY egg jobs over the years - I will tell you that it DESTROYS paint - if you look closely where the actual impact is you will likely see a spiderweb type of cracking in the paint where the egg shell broke into it and the albumin from the egg ate into it. After a few weeks you will see the paint start to flake off in that area. I hope you were able to clean it up nearly instantly or you are probably out of luck. I have heard of EZ-off oven cleaner to take off stubborn stuff like yellow line paint - just be careful to leave it on only long enough to work - check it in a small area every minute or so - to see if it worked - immediately wash it off and wax the area.
 
Mix a solution of water and natural meat tenderizer (Adoph's). Soak some rags in it and place them over the spots for a couple hours. Since egg is mostly protein, the protein enzymes will break it down and leave your paint unscathed.
