90 300e Raw Egg Stain On Body
Some jerk crushed raw egg on the body of my black benz. I could not remove the residue. Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately raw egg can actually cause damage to the clearcoat which is most likely what you're seeing. How long was the egg left on the paint?
If the paint is not damaged you can go to any Auto Store and purchase a Claybar kit and remove the residue. If it remains you will need to either have the area professionally buffed out or you can try to repair it by hand. Meguiars makes a product called Scratch X and ColorX, with a great deal of effort you may be able to remove the defect by hand. Stronger abrasives are available however most require a random orbital buffer to work properly. Good luck with the repair.

EGG STAIN RESIDUE REMOVAL
Afshin,
If I use rubbing compund, do you think it may damage the base paint or clearcoat finish? |

Rubbing compound is extremely harsh IMO and yes it will remove clearcoat and if your clearcoat is thin it can remove the base coat. I would try something less abrasive like Meguiars Scratch X first. You always want to start with the least amount of abrasives to remove blemishes from paint. If after a few tries with the Scratch X you don't achieve any results you'll need to step up to something more abrasive.
Rubbing compound will remove a great deal of paint very quickly and may leave the clearcoat thin. If you do decide to use it use very litte compound and apply very little pressure. You will need to follow up with a secondary polish to remove the haze left behind by the rubbing compound.

So what ended up working? My car was egged and the paint looks horrible. Egg was on there for a while as my parents don't know when it happened while I was gone.
