Default Shaving cream on paint

So... it's a long story but, a "prank" led to the side of my gx being covered in shaving cream. It was on there for about 20 minutes before I was able to rinse with water and then wipe off as much as I could, then after about another 30 minutes I got home, immediately busted out my wash mitts, and meguirs car wash soap and cleaned the entire side of the car. Really hoping I don't have any clearcoat or paint damage from this. There is no visible damage to the paint as of right now I am hoping it stays that way. What do yall think, am I being dramatic, or is my worrying justified?

Once removed, if the clear coat was not etched ... assume all is good ... the contact area would be dull or hazed if etching occurred. Modern clear coat is pretty durable ... bird poop is very acidic ... acid rain, winter salt ... etc ... holds up extremely well ... so I think you have no worries.

Once had a a friend while at a campfire gathering pepper the side of my car with flaming marshmallows. Impossible to remove but everything was returned back to original condition with removal and some polish and wax. My get even was to wrap an extra large pepperoni pizza face down over the top of his muffler. He could not figure out why his car for a month smelled like burning cheese !
