Nail Polish remover aka acetone will remove / break it down, but it will likely strip any wax, and I can't say what it's effect on the top clear coat will be, it shouldn't hurt the actual paint though.

Someone with more detailing experience might be able to comment on the clear coat or an alternative product.

Hope this helps some.

Goo-Gone, gasoline, 3M adhesive remover, acetone. Any of those will work without hurting the clearcoat. Just be sure to clean well and then wax the area afterward.

If those methods above don't work. The superglue may be too thick.

You may also try using a clay bar. I have removed enamel paint that was one yr old off two peoples cars with just a lay bar and the spray it comes with.

But if all else fails...

Tape around the glue spot and slowly! Scrape off the glue with a sharp razor blade.

I did this to remove the acura gunk behind the emblems on the trunk on my CL. Took an hour but it all came off and not a scratch.

If the area is flat use a curved blade so u can focus on the glued area.

Only remove the glue/substance till there is just a bit left. How much a bit is? Is however close u are willing to go with the blade.

If by chance u do nick the clear u can polish it out if it's not deep. Or wet sand it then polish it.

Only use the razor blade tho if ur shit outta luck with the other options, cause obviously using a razor blade is risky,but it worked for me.

Either way it will come off.just don't get ancy and rush. That when stuff goes wrong.

Slow is fast
