Default Egged!!!

So i woke up this morninging and my dad told me my car was egged!! damn!@!!111$@@!! sooo basically there was about 5-6 eggs that hit the car with dead aim and a few that jus barly missed. so i went and got a car wash immediatly but i guess it was still too late the damage was done! there is about 4 paint chips/swirls due to the eggs

So is there anyway to fix the swirls? ill get some pix up tomarrow!

Damn bro that sucks so bad. I know one way is to get an exterior detail. You need a high speed buffer and this stuff(forgot the name) that takes awy a small layer of paint so all imperfections go away. Need pics

Damn those bastards! Hopefully, the cost associated with the damage is not too much.

Why would someone egg your car? Do you think it was someone you knew or just some kids that were messing around?

why do people do this? this is not only immature and a major pain in the a$$, but this kinda stuff costs money to fix. I swear people think money grows on trees these days.

I saw some kids put a glass bottle behind someone's tire at a movie theatre. I walked up, picked up the glass bottle, and threw it away. Tires aren't freakin' cheap.

Some people need to learn the value of a dollar.

Sorry about your car.

Same here, the HAND CAR WASH guys are horrible. I could do a way better job with less time, way less money and twice better results!!! If you're not equipped with one of those meguiars dual action polisher get one! It's really a good investment to get your car detailed once in a while (1 per 3months/6 months at the latest/ although it only requires to detail car 1 a year/depends location/weather etc.etc.).

Swirlex from meguiars are also good, but I've been using TURTLE WAX POLISHING COMPOUND to remove swirls (PREP), then the TURTLE WAX CLEANER (WAXING PHASE), then I follow it with the TURTLE WAX PLATINUM PASTE WAX, then finish it off with the TURTLE ICE SYNTHETIC LIQUID DETAILER. Then I use the TURTLE ICE SYNTHETIC WAX every after carwash (1 a week) then follow it off with the detailer...

Maybe we can all meet up and get a group discount for paint chips

Took my car up to Azusa the other night and came down with 3 rock chips... one size of my pinky nail
