How do you remove super glue from a car body?
I was doing some work in my workshop last night and accidentally spilled some super glue on my car. I want to get it off, but I don’t want to damage the paint—how do I fix it?

So sorry that happened—but there’s no need to cry over spilled glue! To get rid of super glue, you’ll want a pair of gloves and a solvent containing acetone. Here’s what to do:
- Soak the glue by washing the area with warm water and a rag.
- When it’s sufficiently soaked, apply a mixture of dish soap and hand cream. (This may remove the glue altogether in some cases! However, if it doesn’t, proceed to the next step.)
- Pour some acetone onto a cloth, then rub it softly against the affected area. This should remove the glue!
It’s important to know the glue will soften quickly and the acetone can remove paint, so be wary. If you do damage the car, it may be necessary to
paint over it
