Does anyone know how egg affects a car's paint job? My car was egged about a week ago and when it happened, I only noticed it on the right side so I cleaned it and everything. But today I noticed it was on the back of my car as well.
When I cleaned all the week old egg off (which took forever and a day), I noticed that the paint under the egg/shells was cracked and pealing. I was soooo pissed off. But, can egg really do that? I KNOWWW the paint wasn't like that before.

It has something in it that does that, i'm not sure how, but my grandpa {he owns a car garadge} knows stuff about that, and told me one time that eggs can affect the paint job. I suggest, get a paint job on the spots, or find some type of cleaner for it.
