Crazy glue removal

Accidentally got a small amount of crazy glue on my drivers door at the bottom. Anyone know how to get this off?

if it's not on the paint, some small amount of nail polish remover, acetone, or rubbing alcohol on a piece of rag

hmm tough one, using any of those above can smudge your clearcoat.

Maybe Gunk's Bug and Tar remover? I would use a small amount of that too just to be safe.

Try a little WD-40 lubricant. Just spray a blob on, and let it sit. If its able to penetrate under the glue, it should peel right off. The super glue still may have done damage to the paint though.

Good luck

if all fails i would take a razor and shave off as much as you can,
mask the surrounding paint, sand the superglue blob down close to
even with the paint, and then use polish to finish off.

get a can of compressed air turn it upside down and blast away at the glue spot and freeze it, if it is small enough you should be able to take it off with your finger nail.


I've done this before to take bubble gum off my car.

do not put a razor blade onto your paint unless you know what you are doing. unfortunately, the best way is to do it is 1800 grit wet/dry colorsand and buff. this is also a "do not attempt unless you know what you are doing".

We had some really sticky tar on one of our cars on the exterior paint.
Used goo gone and it took it right off.

Always use small amounts. Apply to rag first, not directly on paint.
Gently wipe, etc. Personally, afterwards, I'd wash it with soap, clay the spot, and apply some wax.
