My car got covered with shaving cream......

[killeraxemannic]

Was at my girlfriends house tonight and her little sister who is still in highschool's friends came and tp'd the house and sprayed shaving cream all over my car.

Anyone know if it will damage the paint or had this happen to them before? It was on there for 15 min tops.

Should be fine... But to get them back, put bologna on their cars overnight... :devillook

^ bologna on cars in the middle of summer is NOT cool haha

If shaving cream could damage paint i would hate to know what it would do to skin.

what is going on with that car?

Your car is not damaged. Shaving cream. LOL

As somebody else said, you use that on your face.

[LockDots]

it's still a legitimate question. Bologna is put in our mouths and does less damage than swallowing shaving cream, yet does worse damage to paint.

I personally shave my car every day, and I can tell you from experience that the only damage I ever get on it is from razor burn. :shifty

What kind of idiot lets their friends tp their own house? Your car is fine, just wash it off.

I've seen the backlash of eggs. The paint was literally missing on half the car with the other half bubbled up!

What does the damage is the proteins from what I remember.

Well it was a prank and we didn't know it was happening or else I would have gone outside and scared the crapp outta some kids. Her sister just knew who of her friends would do it..... It doesn't look like it hurt the car so i'm not that pissed anymore.

I don't necessarily agree that just because you can put it on your face you can put it on your car, however I don't think 15 min would be a problem though it might strip wax. Found this from Wired magazine:

Thick, rich, velvety – and chock-full of ingenious chemicals.
• Palmitic acid: This long-chain lipid is found in palm oil and animal fats. A major component in soapmaking, it helps create a thick, stable lather that enfolds follicles and holds them upright.
• Triethanolamine: A thickener and wetting agent, TEA allows water to flow more freely by reducing the surface tension that holds droplets together. It's also a precursor chemical for the blistering weapon nitrogen mustard gas.
• Stearic acid: Commonly used in cosmetics, this waxy lipid softens the skin. Combined with TEA, it becomes a powerful thickener for luxurious lather.
• Isopentane: In shaving cream, this degreaser breaks down sebum, the oil your skin produces. (It also smells like gasoline.) That helps whiskers stand up, the better to mow them down with a razor.
• Sunflower oil monoglycerides: This plant oil has seemingly magical properties. Its fatty acids attach to a carbon backbone and keep the product in gel form. But rubbing the gel in your hands introduces air. Voilà: foam.
• Sorbitol: In food, this sweetener causes diarrhea. (Luckily, shaving cream is not for eating.) Here it's a cheap stand-in for glycerine, a skin moisturizer.
• Aloe barbadensis: You know it as aloe vera – the gooey stuff inside the plant. It's yet another skin softener and probably helps accelerate the healing of nicks.
• PVP: Polyvinyl pyrrolidone sticks to the keratin in hair shafts and, like isopentane, makes the hairs stand up straight for a clean shave.
• Isobutane: A compressible aerosol propellant, it helps the gel squirt out of the can. Pyromaniacs take note: It's also extremely flammable.
• PEG 90M: Polyethylene glycol is a versatile polymer used in laxatives, sexual lubricants, and lots of medications as a binding agent. In nanotech, it serves as a lattice on which biological cells can grow. In shaving cream, it's a lubricant and stabilizer.
• Blue #1: So that's what gives the gel its electric blue tint! When the ingredients are worked into a lather, tiny bubbles indiscriminately scatter all wavelengths of light and the blue disappears.

I'd be pissed, damage or no damage. Well, at this point it doesn't seem like there's much you can do other than clean up the mess. I don't think anything happened but a good wash is an order. If I were you I'd wax or seal it too just in case of any future shaving related incidents.

came out to this last week... wanted to punch faces :mad
