The egg is etching into the clear coat. Make sure you was all of it off and you will have to polish it out!

i hit it with the high pressure rinse and high pressure soap took all of the egg color off but now theres some dim white spots in the paint ill post pictures later today. the egg was on my truck for almost 24 hours i belive they egged my truck around 11:30ish or so i here and i washed it the next day around 10PM. So do i wax this to polish it out? how do i get rid of those white spots?

Not that im complaing but when you egg someone dont you normaly throw more than one egg? if your gonna do it do it right. Oh well i got some mad pay back.

If you are doing it by hand go and pick up some Meguiar's Scratch X. You can hand polish with that, make sure you follow the directions. Wax when your done.

man i know exactly how u feel. i was at the beach last month and left my truck at home. when i got home on sunday i found about 25 eggs all over my truck. i don't think i've been that mad in a very long time. i took it and washed it for about 3 hours and finally got it clean, then i went the next day at school and found out who the guy that did it was and gave him a bloody nose and a good headache for a while. the 5 day suspension was a great time to get my truck dirty with some mudding! haha...

It looks like the begginning of the end of a well kept paint job. The flaking starts, and your paint goes to hell.

it wouldn't hurt to go ahead and try to save it. Thankfully I got to mine just a couple hours after they egged my truck so i saved my paint job. If I was you i'd go ahead and try to save it. What could it hurt?

Talk to you insurance agent you may be able to claim it on comprehensive with no out of pocket expense to you.

I'd rather be dealing with that then the key mark that goes from headlight to taillight on my truck.

That is pretty nasty though. I'd say take it to someone who is good with a hand polisher and have them try to work it out the best they can.

If that doesn't work to your liking, your looking at a re-paint. Your comprehensive insurance should cover this (vandalism), but you still have to pay your deductible.
