Car got egged, now spidering
hey, i posted this on my audi forum but didnt get much response, so i want to know what you guys think.
hey, my quartz grey a4 got egged last night. by the location of my car and the eggs landing spot, it was throw from a moving car, so it was thrown really hard. (it was behind my driver side backseat door, i found splatters on my friends car hood that i was parked behind) i dont know how long it sat on my car before i realized it, probably 3-4 hours. then i got home and sprayed the car off and tired to get most of the egg off with a sponge. i backed it into the driveway so no sun would hit the spot until i was able to clean it better. figures my dad moved the car so the sun was directly on the spot. now the paint is spider webbing were the initial impact hit. what can i do do clean this? i think the spiderweb is now etched into the paint but i can feel it slightly. the car is only 2 months old to me and a CPO, so i dont know the previous detail history, like when it was last waxed and whatnot. im so pissed at these punks. it was in a nice neighborhood with way nicer cars parked all over the block (s63, gt500kr, 2 z06 and about 15 bmws)

i used one and it dulled my paint pretty bad. Tried polishing and waxing and everything, nothing would get rid of it. so be careful with them.

....the "spider web" pattern is where the shell broke apart on impact and chipped away the paint. Unfortunately, it's been my experience that you can't do much with that. A professional detailer (or someone with the tools, products and know-how) may be able to help lessen the appearance of the affected area though. As for the remnants of the egg, get yourself a claybar and try that. ....and I would stop using dish sponges to wash your car.

....a professional detailer or a fellow member with the experience, tools & products would be the best bet. Also, keep in mind that the pattern on the paint is likely permanent (i.e. through the clear & possibly down to the primer).

Another trick you might like to try is to use toothpaste. The abrasives in toothpaste are very fine (some use diatoms) and can do a really nice job of polishing out pits and minor surfaces scratches in many materials. Just make sure to use light pressure, a soft cloth and lubricate well. Windex is very useful for that purpose.
