Vomit on the exterior. . . Any ideas?

[drewdub]

So... I was awoken last night about 4:30 AM to a guy yelling "Hey! Hey! Hey!" outside my window. I look out on the street to see some Bro passed out on the trunk of my car, covered in his own vomit. I run out to the street, proceed to yell at Bro to "get the #@!* off my car" and he then stumbles, falls, and throws up again. He eventually stumbled off...



My car is not in perfect shape right now - I live in Chicago and street park it. In fact, I move to Michigan on Sunday where I will now have a garage and plan to correct my car next weekend... that being said - There was vomit all over the trunk of my car.



I quickly grabbed a bunch of warm water and washed off as much as a good, and I am planning to get it washed this morning. Any other thoughts? Like I said, in just over a week it will be getting a multi-step correction, but is there anything substantially worse for the paint in throw up?



Talk about a fun evening/morning...



Thanks.

....personally? I would first get the car washed asap and then worry about addressing the damage (if any). I would also check the jambs of the trunk and other crevices to make sure you flush out any remaining "material" left by the drunkard. If there are no apparent issues with the paint, you may just want to use an AIO (all in one) product or at least get a wax/sealant on the panels that were affected. I'm not a chemist but I'll wager stomach acid is not particularly gentle.

That is disgusting. I'd go to a pressure-sprayer coin-op and spray the whole area down several times. No way I would want to touch that or rinse it off into my driveway. Then I'd probably go home and rewash it, wax the whole thing over.
