thats bull**** the shop said it had to be painted. I had some dumbass kids in my neighborhood egg my truck almost every other day for a YEAR because I called the cops on them when they were drunk one new-years day and were firing those "Mortar" fireworks at neighbors HOUSES =O but yeah the residue eventually baked off from sitting in the sun... so either my trucks paint is faded and i cant see it. or the egg just came off...

Little bastards nailed me also last week. Went right to the carwash on the way to work. Took most of it off. When I got home I just used some dish detergent and very hot water.It came off. Reading online, some people have also used vaseline intensive care lotion to remove eggs.

Try Scratch-x from Meguiars. Go to www.Meguiarsonline.com and ask questions there. M Phillips is a great resource and has been known to bring the dead back to life.

Sorry, man, I feel your pain. It didn't happen to my Mustang but some birds pooped on the driver side of my truck and I didn't see it for probably a week. It ruined the paint on my door, front quarter panel and hood. I couldn't believe it wouldn't come out. And if you look close you can see where the poop had a chemical reaction with the paint. I may try to buff it out but I doubt I'll be successful.
Now I keep quick detailer in the Mustang. Anytime there's poop on it I clean it asap!! It's an older truck so I'm not too worried about it although the paint is only a year old. Still glad it hit the truck and not the Mustang.

thanks for your replies. i actually work at a dealership and i brought it to our recon center this morning, they got almost all of the glazing/hazing out of it and where it oozed down the side.... but the spot where it directly hit... is where the paint started to chip. they said that will be there until its repainted. Will attempt some wd40 and the scratch x tonight or tomorrow! should i bother taking a few pics of where the "chipping" is so that you guys can see what im talking about ?

Wet-sanding may be a good shot too. Just get a 2K-3K grit sand paper, with some warm water, sand it lightly. Then, I'd try to claybar it, and wax it, then buff with Rubbing compound. Good luck!
I'm glad some of the hazing came out. Egg is tough, but I've managed to get it out of my old GT. The Cobra has had a ton of bird crap that sat for several days, that I still got out. It's a bitch to deal with.
