You're going to think this is crazy, but try rubbing some Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion on it and leaving it on for a few minutes.. Something about this particular lotion has been found to be good at breaking up egg stains on automotive paint, even after it's been on for months. Good luck.

so i go out tuesday afternoon and find that the car has been eggd monday night, right under the side window behind the drivers door... i couldnt see the drivers side from where i was, so i didnt find this until mid afternoon. I drove home as soon as i saw it and went through the detail process... this did not remove the "marks" all the way. the paint is chipping in a few spots where the egg directly hit 
its burnt into the paint and the drip spots are also burnt in where it oozed down the side of the car. I took it to a detail shop and they said that thats going to be there unless i get the panel repainted. !!! does anyone have any experience with what might work to remove some of this glazing ? i washed it, used a swirl and haze remover as well as a revive polish and have had no luck.
rant done.

Eggs have apparently etched your paint like acid rain or bird droppings etc..... unless the paint (should I say clear) is eaten all the way thru then you can have it removed without a repaint. If you were local I would show you or have the custom shop I go to take care of it no problem! Its called wet sanding (done after all other options have been tried) some call it color sanding (back in the day when clear was not used) and it will get those etched spots out of the paint....trust me sometimes less is more and repainting panel without trying the wet sanding first is a bad choice IMO and is NOT recommended! JMO
Oh and even the chips can be repaired and blended without a whole repaint...depends on the damage and I need a pic (s) to decide that.....post it up! thanks
