Default OLD egg stain removal

A mate in work has had a stain on his car from being egged about a year ago, i just had a look at it and there does not appear to be any damage to the paint, and you can feel it if you run your nail over it.

What would be best to remove this, i was thinking of using good ol T CUT,


Any sudgestions please people


Cheers

Any pics? - I had egg on my spoiler once - for scooby paint - bit of intensive polish Menzerna Intensive Polish should do the trick, if by hand then use a german aplicator (white side) Ultimate German Applicator Pad - but it would be nice and easy if you have a porter cable.

Am sure some other people have some other ideas.

Polish agression depends on type of paint it is hard/soft ETC.

Should be nice and easy then - you may even get away with using final polish 2 Menzerna Final Polish II

Would advise to try and get some pics but if theres nothing to see it will be hard under normal light

Aye, Intensive Polish is a good bet, and perfectly suited to Ford paint; might need a machine application though, as if it's been in place a year (!) it must be bonded like hell to the paint. I'd be tempted to treat it to a strong tar and glue remover first, during the wash process... might be enough to loosen the bond and ease the polishing process.
