Default RE: paint

Super glue may be interesting. Im not sure any of the usual solvents will take it off. None that wont hurt your paint at least. Can you chip it off with your finger nail? I would maybe get a piece of metal or something and put a big drop of super glue on it and let it dry. Then try some solvents to see what disolves super glue. Try some goo gone first and if that doesnt work, get some wax and grease remover. The very last thing you want to try is some paint reducer. You will have to be careful with that because too much of it will melt your clear coat. Im not sure if nail polish remover will dissolve super glue. If so, you may be able to apply it to the glue with the little brush so you dont get too much of it on the paint itself. If no solvents work, you may need to have it sanded off and buffed out.

try 3m general purpose adhesive cleaner. might take a few applications to remove layers. use a soft cloth and let the solution do the work. rinse with quick detailer between apps.
