Default Car got egged

My Sequoia got egged last night since it was parked on the street. Luckily my S was parked in the garage. I didnt notice it until today afternoon and I washed the car immediately. Most of the thick residue came off but there is still a light residue or stain left on the fender. Any ideas on how to get this off? I tried scrubbing and washing over and over.

Sounds like the egg baked itself into the paint. Is the stain more like an impression in the paint?

There is a part where it does look like an impression on the paint, but there is a bigger part where it looks like it's just on top of the paint. I also have those tiny scratches that make the shape of an egg. I heard something about trying vinegar or something? Do I just wipe vinegar on it with a towel?

you could do that...I would dilute the solution. Lemon juice would be an alternative. I've used this method when I was rubbing out bird sh!t that baked into my car.

I have some vinegar here. Should I mix it with water (like a 50/50 mixture)? I don't have any lemon juice right now. Thanks for the advice.

i would start with a small area with 50/50... if that doesnt get it, then go stronger to all vinegar.
if you have etching afterwards, you might need some polish. if you have a good wax job a short time should not cause etching.

afterwards you will need to rewax-

I would recommend serving with toast, bacon and OJ. J/K! You can use either vinegar to get rid of the stain, or you might want to try using bug and tar remover. I've used that to get rid of bird crap stains. If all that fails, hit it with the buffer (if you have one), and that should do the trick.
