Arrow Breakfast is SERVED!

So for once I'm happy it's rainy on a July summer day here in Seattle.

I had to wash wet egg off the driver's corner of my car this morning... in the rain... late for work. haha Shows me for parkin on the street right? Its funny because just yesterday I posted in a thread askin about the california duster to keep my car clean! LOL

Anyways does anyone have any tips on gettin rid of the smell n thick goop that I wasn't able to get at this morning? I'm gonna run it through a car wash during lunch which I normally would never do but I wanna get it as clean as possible in a timly manner. Thanks in advance!

P.S. Big middle finger to all ex-girlfriends, old beef, or JEALOUS KIDS!!!!!

Just run it thru a quick wash at a gas station or something. Then go over it again by hand when you have more time. Did the egg hit on the paint or just the window? If it hit paint, check the paint carefully because when an eggshell cracks it will create sharp points. It usually cuts up or even chips off the paint!

Well the egg goop was primarily on the windows but i didnt really see any egg shells anywhere.. maybe a couple tiny pieces but that was it.. I wonder if they cracked it over top.. pretty lame regardless..

Thanks I'll be doing that.. people r gonna think I'm an idiot seeing as how the weather will be rain until sunday..

I just called a place down the street from work called Auto Spa.. they said they do a handwash for $15 that takes about 20 or 30 minutes. That'll be perfect for lunch.

you're lucky its raining man.. if any of that egg gets on your paint and you let it sit it can be murder to the cars finish.. get it taken care of asap and consider the rain a blessing.

not at all.. just let them know what happened and where on the car so they put an extra couple minutes into that area when they clean it.. they dont care they are making money either way and if its raining they're probably bored as hell right now. one of my friends cars got an egg thrown at it, they didnt notice till almost the following day. it destroyed the clearcoat and started messing up the paint underneath.. had to have the whole bumper repainted, so atleast you're getting away easy.

Glad it worked out in the end, cuz getting your car egged is just plain mean. My poor Spectra blue got tagged on the rear wing. I bought her used last year, and was wondering what that weird looking mark was, and my buddy Tony told me it looked like it was egged. Stupid punks!!! Oh well, time for a custom 2 tone like Adrian or maybe even a 3 tone like SoCal, heheh.
