How to Protect Your Car From Halloween Tricksters

I'm not saying that people never egged anything when we were kids, but have you noticed that a lot more people seem to do it these days than in the past?

Last Halloween was my son's first (he was Baby Beethoven, by the way)...

...and we decided to celebrate by going to Albany so that John could trick-or-treat with his cousins. When we got home, we were in for a surprise- my car was covered in nasty, sticky egg because instead of moving it into the driveway, I left it parked on the street.

Halloween is just a week from today and if you have to park on the street (or forget to move your car into the driveway like I did), realistically there’s a chance your car will get hit with eggs or other gooey, mystery substances that can do some serious damage to the paint.

So, if you can’t park anywhere but on the street, what should you do? The geniuses at Life Hacker say your best bet is to slather on a nice coat of wax RIGHT NOW-like today-one week from Halloween.

By the time Halloween rolls around, the wax will have settled, but it will still be fresh enough to make egg yolks, silly string and other stuff wash right off and as an added bonus, I’ll help protect your car from salt, sand and other winter driving stuff.
