Default HELP: Clean up the mess on my paint!

Does anyone know how to clean eggs residue from my 03' Accord paint? I made a mistake for not washing the eggs right away from the paint. Now it is very hard to remove.

You may have a question on how I got the eggs on my car:
I went to a friend's bday surprise. When he got splashed with eggs, some of splochies got to my front right fender.

Please help suggesting on what kind of things I can try to remove the eggs.

The marks look like my car got some splashed that can't be erased.

I will visit an auto detailer and the dealer to seek info.

Thanks in advance for responding.

Well, I work with eggs everyday at work. I work in the dairy department of my grocery store. Thats what I'm Sham Sham the Dairy Man. Anyway, I have eggs break and dry in the egg case all the time. It gets hard, sticky, and nasty. Warm/hot water will turn that hard mess into something softer to work with. Do this till there isn't any physical egg left. There will probably be areas of visable imperfections. I'd suggest 3m Bug and Tar remover. I detail cars on the side, and this stuff kicks ass! Its safe on paint, but very strong and effective. It will take off any wax, but is clearcoat safe.

I haven't cleaned up egg off a car, but the above info is coming from expereince with eggs and cars.

In the next few days??? :doh:

Thats the reason its a problem now in the first place, you waited too long. The longer you wait, the worse it will be, and that stuff will eventually get into the paint to the extent that nothing will get it out.

Wash it, clay it, try some heavy duty paint cleaner. If that doesnt work, take it to a pro, and hope he can get it out.

Yes, I waited too long. That's the problem. I'll do it this afternoon. I will try with the hot water first.

I'll call out some auto detailers to see if they can do it.

Crossing my fingers.
