Every few weeks I have a customer come in with an egg on their car. Either it fell out of a nest or you have teenagers living in your neighborhood, either way you need to act quickly or your vehicle’s paint will be ruined. Here are some tips for removing eggs from a car.

1. Act Quickly:

The sooner you can remove the egg, the easier it will be. If you notice the egg while it's still fresh, you can use a gentle stream of water to rinse it off.

2. Soften the Egg:

If the egg has dried, try soaking it with a cloth soaked in warm, soapy water. Let the cloth sit on the egg for several minutes to soften it before attempting to remove it. Do not let the towel with the soapy water dry on the vehicle.

3. Use Gentle Cleaners:

Use a car-safe soap and a microfiber cloth to gently clean the area. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

4.Rinse Thoroughly:

After removing the egg, rinse the area thoroughly with water to ensure all residues are gone.

5. Protect the Paint:

Once the egg is completely removed, thoroughly wash and dry the entire vehicle. Then consider applying a coat of wax or sealant to protect the paint and make future clean-ups easier.

If the egg has caused damage to the paint, you might need to seek professional detailing or repair services to restore the affected area.
