#1: Getting Super Glue off Author: Southall, Location: Warwickshire, UKPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:15 pm ---- I realise it was incredibly stupid to get some on there anyway but I needed a quick fix.
Unfortunately I have idiotically dripped some onto my paintwork and I'm not sure how to remove it without screwing the paintwork, or if that's even possible.
I've heard that brake cleaner can help I'm not sure how accurate that is and all the super glue "removers" will damage the paintwork, I would've thought?
ANY help appreciated

someone will confirm if claying will remove it or not im sure
#3: Re: Getting Super Glue off Author: Southall, Location: Warwickshire, UKPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 3:29 pm ---- Yeah thought about claying but not sure that'd be strong enough? its a hefty dribble
Might just end up re-spraying

Sticky stuff remover might work, not sure tho

Oh well I'll give the sticky stuff remover a go, then it's on with the sand paper!

If I were you I'd test it on an inconspicous area before attempting the surface mind to make sure you dont do any more damage than good (i.e. underneath bonnet). If it was me I'd then T cut the surrounding area then polish + wax to reprotect the paintwork.

otherwise it will damage your paintwork
#9: Re: Getting Super Glue off Author: Southall, Location: Warwickshire, UKPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:25 pm ---- Solvents it is then, I'll blame you guys if I have a GIANT patch in my paintwork!
I joke

Haven't tried diesel yet...
#12: Re: Getting Super Glue off Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:39 pm ---- Infact have you tried tar and/or glue remover?
#13: Re: Getting Super Glue off Author: Southall, Location: Warwickshire, UKPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:41 pm ---- Yep I've tried that already, didn't budge one bit!

I seen this post and thought of petrol!
Lee maybe right in saying diesel but i know for sure petrol will do the trick without damage.
ive tryed and tested petrol to remove bitumen from a WHITE car, Insurance wrote it off as CAT C but it cost me ONLY £5 petrol to remove it all.....
Buffed it afterwards and was BRILLIANT WHITE AGAIN!
#15: Re: Getting Super Glue off Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Thu Feb 17, 2011 5:42 pm ---- Maybe someone will know better but maybe trying chewing gum remover might do the trick, The type that freeze's it before you take it off. I used it to get the glue off when I debadged my car but I sprayed it onto a cloth not the car, Worked a treat. Washed the car right afterwards so noon was left on the paintwork.
