How to Wash Egg off a Car

If your car has been the target of some neighborhood pranksters, act quickly to wash it off. It takes about two hours for dried egg to damage the finish of a car.

Things You'll Need

  • Warm Water
  • White Vinegar
  • soft terry towels
  • Get to the egg mess as soon as you discover it. Do not let egg sit on your car, even overnight.

  • Remove by hand the egg shell pieces that are not dried onto the car.

  • Wipe up as much of the egg as you can with a soft towel, being careful not to scratch the paint with eggshell remnants.

  • Soak a towel in a solution of half warm water and half white vinegar.

  • Place the saturated towel on the egg stain, letting it sit for 15-20 minutes.

  • Remove the wet towel, wipe away remnants and dry the area with a soft, dry towel.

  • Take your car to a body shop if the paint or clear coat is cracked, crinkled, scratched or bubbling up. You may need to have to have the car spot-painted or completely repainted.
