Easiest way to get super glue off paint work?

[cringer]

As per title really? I spilt some on the missis's car while fixing a bit of trim in place. Like a dope I wiped it and it went white. :-(

Edit - Moved to Idle Banter as not bike related

Nasty! I reckon if it's dried it will be bonded to the paint. Never done this but I think I would try heating it up and scraping off the worst with a plastic scraper. Then get the T-cut out. If the glue has only bonded with the clearcoat you might get lucky.

I can't think of a solvent to use that wouldn't knacker your paint.

Good luck.

There is commercial superglue remover like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LOCTITE-Super-Glue-Remover-5g-*NEW*_W0QQitemZ300296106395QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=389957821290a0e20535c8b5ffe66d9b), but it is essentially acetone. Depending on what the surface is you're dealing with, there is a good chance acetone will damage or even dissolve it. Nail varnish removers are often basically acetone.

Either try some on an unseen area first, or try really hot soapy water and gently rub it and keep working at it (assuming the hot water won't also damage the surface).

No that may increase the value of the car! It's only an old one but she loves it

This is a total guess but... I once got wax all over my suit. I googled it and the way to do it is get some kitchen roll, place it over the wax and then iron on top. The heat will melt the wax and the paper soaks it up.

Perhaps this could work..? But dont blame me if it goes wrong

Ok I googled it and read that this stuff is pretty good at getting it off:

ermmm nooooooooooo, the nail polish remover will lift the bleedin paint to.

just polish the superglue with a tcut or brasso (smae thing). it will come up clear in no time and will look like a little lacquer bump.

Well I used a combination of nail polish remover and t cut in the end. The t cut got she of most of it and the acetate to finish off and get rid of the stubborn bit's. It didn't take any paint off which was a relief.
