Default remove super glue

How do I remove super glue from my car??? It got on the paint when I reattached my window vents. Well I recently took the window vents off and there is still some super glue on the paint. What do I use to get that off? Thanks!

ive heard acetone. id try goo gone first with a tooth brush. if neither work then just wet sand that spot with like 1500 or 2000 grit sandpaper and high speed buff with 1500 grit compound.

Try a claybar first. I sprayed crazy glue all over my Cobra by accident and a claybar + Poorboys SSR2.5 and a Orange pad was able to completely remove it.

Be careful with wet sanding, you need to use a flexible block otherwise you'll make a nasty mess of your clearcoat.

What is the Poorboys SSR2.5? I tried to just claybar the area with the detailing spray and it did nothing.

Sorry Dude if its gone hard, it will have bonded with the paint and you will not be able to remove it with out damaging the paint.

Not exactly true khooper.

My crazy glue was stuck on for 48 hours, with sun hitting it and I was still able to remove it. It took a lot of elbow grease and time.

02stangridin, do you have any intentions of buying a buffer for your car? A Porter Cable and the right cutting pads & compounds could certainly remove or help the situation.

I claybarred for a ridiculously long time and got it to take whatever it could off the car, then I polished with a PC for a couple hours until it was finally gone.
