my truck got egged
my truck got egged
I posted this in general care, but I thought I would post it here so I might get a quicker response.
I spent most of the night with my fiance while she was babysitting/housesitting for some friends of hers. Her friends have a daughter who is about 15 years old or so. Well, when it was time for me to go home for the night, I walked out to find out that my truck had been egged (unluckily, her house only has parking on the street). I don't think that it was actually hit on the paint because I didn't notice any actual splash marks (I know what they usually look like), but there was plenty of egg yolk all down the door of my truck and some on my fender. I took the truck to a car wash and sprayed all of the yolk off. Hopefully I got it all cleaned up.
My question is: Is there anything that I can or need to do now to my truck to protect the paint or to make sure that what happened doesn't do any further damage to the paint.
Hopefully Intel will check this out and enlighten everyone on the effects of egg on paint jobs.
I did a search on egg and that is only a 3 letter word so it didn't work. eggs only pulled up something on bacon and eggs, and egged didn't help much either.
Thanks in advance for any worthwhile responses.

I would definately get a couple of coats of wax on and over the affected areas.
Unless there are 'stuck on' contaminants that wouldn't remove with regular washing/drying, the clay bar is useless for this application as it's only made to remove bonded contamination.... nothing more, nothing less.
