Yrs,

MrDmod - im afraid its not that simple.    egging someones  car is like
dumping sugar in the gas tank..   its a prank that the  perpetrator knows will
do major damage if not dealt with ASAP.  (that's why  they do it!!)

cars without clearcoats tend to fare better, (and i think the
squirrelmobile is a ivory 84 westy so its not clearcoated from the  factory (unless it
was repainted!!!) so the damage remains to be seen.

and seen for a long time.   :(

my sisters acura (factory clearcoated ) was egged at college, and she
didn't wash it off for  weeks (shes a girl, girls dont wash cars LOL) and  when
she came home for break i tried to wash it off but too late..   clearcoat
was ruined .. the enzymes in the eggyolk ate thru the clearcoat and  down into
the basecoat..  sitting for weeks baking in the hot sun   didn't help
either.
