Paint questions ... please help :(

Hello people, hope you are well?

I need some advice ... some ****ers decided to egg my car whilst I was on holiday. I’ve managed to remove the egg but the lacquer/paint is now marked

... I have tried to tcut it out but it doesn’t work at all!! Any ideas?

I have also noticed a small fuel spillage near the petrol cap, it seems to have damaged the paint/lacquer a little, how would I get it out?

Cheers

Buy a machine polisher or take it to a pro and let them sort it with their machine.

It may not, but does a lot better job than polishing anything by hand. You can get a more aggressive compound too, which will take the lacquer back more.
