I have spilled a fair amount of superglue down the side of my car above the rear wheel well. I have tried RP7, vegetable oil, tee tree oil and also eucalyptus oil. It is now about a week later so I am sure it has well and truly set as hard as it’s going to get. I have not tried acetone as yet because I’m afraid of damaging the clear finishing coat of paint. I have also not tried using cutting compounds for the same reason. A panel beater has said that I will need to repaint the whole rear quarter panel but that’s going to be pretty expensive. Can you help??
Many thanks, Harry

Acetone should work. It won’t damage the paint unless it is an older car with acrylic paint. But yes – try it on an inconspicuous part of the car first. An alternative approach is to use chlorinated solvents. You’ll find this in Polystrippa from Bunnings. it’s a gel that you paint on and works quite well. But again, try on an inconspicuous area first
Acetone is your only hope, test it on a part of the car you can’t see first.
