Removing Egg From Vinyl Siding

Zeebo

Does anyone have any suggestions on removing egg from vinyl siding??? The customer has asked me to paint the entire siding outside of her house because 2 of the vinyl siding planks have egg one them (vandalism from kids). Not that I don't want the business, but the siding looks pretty good and does not need a paint job.

Any suggestions on how to remove it or clean it up???

Thanks.

Most vinyl siding manufacturers recommend paint thinner.

This might sound weird, but I'd try dishsoap, and soak it for a bit, then put alittle elbow into in... Think of doing dishes....

imo.

Smear some corned beef hash on it so things will balance out.

try trisodium phosphate [soilax] with a little water or any of the over the counter vinyl siding cleaners.paint thinner may work but don't know how well it would cut egg?Not sure if painting vinyl is a good idea because of the expansion and contraction,the seams will move as much as 1/2" or more from hot to cold weather.When it contracted wouldn't you have a bunch of seams that weren't painted?Or wear where they rubbed back and forth?

How about tape a wet cloth or sponge to it and cover with plastic to let it soak? Egg is water soluble. Maybe put a few drops of soap in there to help. Then rub it clean, but not too hard or you'll be cleaning the whole house to match.

W-D -40 is the best to clean vinly siding , it clean eggs , black tar

Maybe there's a reason they got their house egged.

I'd check their trees for signs of past TP-ing too.

If so..don't work for them (they probably suck)

Outdated? So, WD-40 doesn't work on eggs any more?

MALCO.New.York

No!

The post is VERY old.

Your remedy is appreciated. I was just pointing out that the OP most certainly has remedied his situation!
