Removing Super Glue

Berger · 27 May 2007 at 18:30

Went to stick some clear side repeaters on my car today, removed the old ones to find that the previous owner had stuck them on using the normal mounting method (clips) and then a sticky foam pad and SUPER GLUE!

How can i remove the super glue from my wing without damaging it!

Tried claybar, t-cut and acetone on a soft cloth but nothing shifted it. T-cut made it look a little better as it looks black as has some sticky foam pad in it still i guess... :mad:

You can get super glue remover,
This stuff
Not sure if it'll be ok to use on paintwork though.

I've used nail polish remover to remove super glue before, never tried it on car bodywork though, just my lips

Acetone will very likely affect paint, it attacks most plastics very quickly.

I guess the new lights are smaller than the old ones?

As said above Acetone is likely to damage your paint. I would try warm soapy water and a lot of patience.
