Use the introductory paragraph to answer the question.

Did you know that if a car is hit with an entire carton of eggs, the cost of repainting it could be as much as $15,000? Egging cars is a popular, age-old prank, but it should not be taken lightly. If your car was hit with an egg last night during the Halloween festivities, wash it off immediately. And parents, if your children were among these pranksters, please urge them to stop. It is a little-known fact that all three parts of an egg can damage a car: the shells can scratch the paint; the egg yolk is acidic, so it can eat through the clear coat of paint and damage the base coat; and the egg whites turn into a glue-like substance after a while, making them nearly impossible to remove. There are three useful strategies for removing eggs from your car, but they will work only if you clean your car right away.
