Hey guys

So I only just noticed that my car got egged, it would have happened last night as it's not possible it happened today.

That means the egg was on my car for about 20 hours before I noticed it.

I have just cleaned it off using car wash and a microfibre mit, but after drying I can see that the paint is slightly cracked. It is barely noticeable and you can only see it in certain light.

Will a good cut and polish get this out?

I have just applied some Maguires polish so I'll see how that goes.

Any help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Mild stains which are left can be removed with a medium cut product such as ultimate compound if still relatively fresh.


Deep chips such as those through the paint left by the shell may not be able to be removed with anything bar respray.

I have repaired stains and lighter chips from incidents such as this via wet sand / Meguiars M105 combo many times previously with great results however have now flipped to other branded products because M105 is quite aggressive, but does not have a very long working time and dusts quite heavily.

Had this happen to my old Patrol once when I was at work, thankfully washed it off within hours.

Happened to my friends Valiant and the paint is now ruined where he missed a spot washing it off. If the paints literally cracked mate its gone sorry to say.

Eggining / keying / damageing someone elses car in any way is in my eyes thee LOWEST and most disgusting form of personal attack. If you know any mates who think this is a good idea of fun then smack their heads in.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
