Unfortunately, my dad's car was a victim of vandalism. I used ON No Rinse with hot-warm water followed by a touch-less car wash. The yolk stains are still there. I don't see significant physical paint damage, just chemical. What is the best solution? Will Clay + AIO remove the yolk stain?

I've done this a couple of times on my car and on friends' cars. :(



First question is do you have just a stain left, or is there some stuck on egg/shells, still? If you got all the egg physically off already, but there's a stain left, then don't bother with clay. I have found that AIO can work if you got the egg off right away. However, one friend, it happened while she was out of town for a week, so no clue how long exactly the egg sat on the paint before she came home. AIO didn't quite get that all off, but some Meg's Scratch-X took it off.



The worst part about the egg is the chips in the paint, though. So your paint didn't get chipped at all from the shell? If not, you got lucky (sort of :))
 
Polish/Buff...a bunch if needed. If it doesn't come with that - repaint. That's the deal, unfortunately.
 
It got egged a few times... I only found 1 spot with some light chips. Other than that, the panels are smooth. I'll probably have a bodyshop do airbrush touchup on the hood.



I'll try the AIO and ScratchX method! Should AIO be applied by hand or machine (which I don't have yet). And what is a good sealant since I heard KSG isn't the best (looking for depth + longetivity -> ClearKote or Poorboys line)... and if I am going to buy sealant, might as well get the better stuff.
 
Just for a little more info, you don't have to use Scratch-X... any light polish should work for you. I used Scratch-X because it works very well by hand, and I didn't have my PC available to me at the time. Since you don't have a buffer, Scratch-X is a good OTC light polish that you can use easily by hand, and should do the trick.



As for a sealant, that's a whole 'nother issue. I don't know if I have a good recommendation because I seem to be constantly trying new LSP's... Right now I'm using Werkstatt AJT and am pretty happy with it. Is it the best? eh, I don't know, there are a lot of sealants and waxes I like a lot depending on the mood I'm in.
