Some jerk threw Coke on my car!
I walk outside today to run to a fast food place to pick up some lunch (out of food at home) and notice something on my driver's side window, down the quarter pannel, and on the roof. A sticky, brown liquid that could only be one thing...
A random carbonated beverage someone deliberately threw onto my car!
Grrrr.... now I have to leave early for work to run by a carwash to get this mess off. I hate having to park in the street. Stupid punks!
Note: I don't have a garrage, or a driveway even. The *ONLY* place to park is in the street or a small parking lot, which was full when I got home last night. I also don't have the ability to hand-wash my car right now. No hose, no hose hookup, and no driveway to park in to wash it!

I hate jealous, spiteful or just disrespectful punks. You have any polish/wax on her yet? If not DO SO IMMEDIATELY. This helps tremendously on getting stuff off your car.

Friggin' idiots!
I have been egged and keyed, so I definitely feel your pain! And the key job was in my car port!
As far as washing the car, I can't do it at my apartment complex either, but found a local car wash (basically cement stalls with a water gun) that works well... I can hand wash the car with my stuff, it's in the shade and it only costs me a couple bucks... For people that don't have access to a hose where they live, it's a great alternative...

Its a real shame that your car got hit. Take it to the coin wash at the very least and get that gunk off the car.
Look on the brightside, at least no one smashed in your windows or keyed up your car, as has happened to others here.
Sweet revenge for me is knowing at least the low-life who did that will probably be making minimum wage most of his life.

Only a true &*^%#$@s would do this. And as John Travolta said in Pulp Fiction, "It would have been worth him doing it to catch him doing it."They did it out of jealousy for the car. Unless you've been dating someone else's girlfriend. Or maybe it was some jealous woman. Dumped any girlfriends lately? (I once knew a woman who stuck an icepick into about 10 people's tires just so she could make sure she got her ex-boyfriend's new car. Let me say I barely knew her, and didn't like her at all.)
Yes whoever did it is probably hoping minimum wage increases so he can get a raise. Then he can save enough money after 3 or 4 months to put a fart cannon on his dirty 1994 Honda Civic with the mismatched body kit and park bench on the trunk, AND put a down payment on a clue so he can figure out why people laugh and point when he rides by.
Endeavor to persevere.

Avoid the crowds. Go to the carwash late at night.
For some reason, most people want to wash their car in the daylight.

I keep a couple bottles of water in my car just for stuff like this. If it's not dried on, you can at least water it down, and save paint damage. Don't wipe it, just pour lots of water on and blot it off with a clean towel. I know how you feel , I get so annoyed at the a$$%*!#$ who do stuff like that.

Hey Nick, that sucked bigtime!
As others have mentioned, I hope it left no stain marks anywhere on the car.
