Something i found which might help

"If you’ve ever been victimized by neighborhood pranksters or vandalism, you’ve likely had your car egged. While discovering an egged car is nerve racking, trying to remove the egg and yolk creates further irritation. The key is to remove the egg stain shortly after the
incident. However, if the egging occurred overnight, or while you were out of town, the yolk will crust, making removal twice and hard. Here are a few tips for removing egg from cars, without ruining the paint.

Step 1: If possible, do not allow the egg to sit on the car for an extended period, especially in the sun. Every second counts. As soon as you discover the mess, begin steps to clean the vehicle.

Step 2: Using your hand, remove all traces of the egg shell from the car.

Step 3: Once pieces of the egg shell are removed, clean the egg and yolk from the car using a soft towel. It is important to remove all traces of the egg shell. This way, you avoid scratching the surface of the car.

Step 4: Create a mixture using 1 part water and 1 part vinegar.

Step 5: Soak a towel in the mixture, and place it on the egg stain. You may also spray the mixture onto the car using a spray bottle. Allow the towel to sit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 6: Remove the towel. Dry the area using a different towel.

Step 7: If necessary, repeat steps 5 and 6.

Unfortunately, if the egg was not immediately removed, there may be damaged to the car’s paint. Review your insurance policy or vehicle warranty to see whether car egging is covered. If not, be prepared to pay a hefty price to have portions of the vehicle re-painted."

cheers for that mate il go back out no and have a look again to see if its all gone but there wasn't much egg shell just yolk and i just got some warm water and a sponge and wiped it off.

If I was you mate I'd be down there tonight with a few boys & make an example of them,crack a few jaws & break a few noses & it wont happen again.....I guarantee it!
If they are too young then do their Dads!

Im sorry to hear about this. The sad thing is even though you know who did it and you tell their parents its doesnt mean that they wont do it again. Like has been suggested the van idea is a great idea especially when the little sh*t has to explain to their parents where they have been the whole day - walking 100 miles home. Its a shame that the law isnt on the side of the victim and makes the tosser pay for that damage that they have caused. Hope you can get it sorted.

dont know youre situation or were you stay but best thing is to just keep callin the police if they are loitering again. trust me nothing you can do barring violence will do anything or in the rare event the parents of the ring leader may be actually ok and if they say not to go near usually they don't. remember when i was young we used to hang around an estate and a guy came out wearing a pair of boxers and had a pair of scissors in his hand and that was the last time any of my pals went there again.(fookin ran by next time we were their)lol. but each case is different. was reading in the paper today of a guy who got out his car because boys at a bus stop spat on it when he was passing and they stabbed him quite baddly. so you never know. he was 24 and they were 17.

sorry all i forgot about this thread, haven't got a picture of the damage as it didn't come up on the camera very well but i took it to body repair garage and they quoted me £80 to get it sprayed so its not too bad but just wish it didn't happen in the first place.
