How do I remove crazy glue from my car paint?
I was fixing one of my kid's toys in my garage and I couldn't unscrew the bottle of crazy glue. I pulled really hard, and long story short, I accidentally got crazy glue on the side of my car. Is there any easy way to remove it from the paint?

“I’m so sorry that happened! I am happy to say that removing crazy glue is pretty simple—so no need to cry over spilled glue!
Just follow these steps:
- Use warm water and soak the affected area.
- Pour some acetone onto a cloth and gently rub the crazy glue.
- Wipe away the glue while it’s soft.
Always remember to wear personal protective equipment when working with a solvent like acetone so that you don’t injure yourself!
Usually acetone won’t damage the paint. If it does, though, read your
