    How to get Crazy glue off paint???? Thanks

    I had this emblem on my Sequoia that came off in a carwash. I crazy glued it back on and  it just didn't work. Now the emblem is gone and I removed the 3m crap off the paint but the crazy glue is still there. I have tried goof off, nail polish remover, and good old fashion soap and water and I just can't get the glue off the paint. Its on my 2008 sequoia and I really don't want to screw up the paint. I know there are alot of painters on this site which is why I asked here. Thanks in advance.

    sorry dont kmow of anything to get it off it is a etching type of glue ,meaning it will lightly bite into whatever its applied to to increase the bond much like a pvc glue that is 2 part, super glue ,crazy glue has it all in one, aside of a light sand and buff after taking a razor blade standing on edge and scrape across it ,i know it sounds harsh but that is how painters will cut and remove sags before sanding and buffing paint ,then the light sand and buff and that should do it hope it helps good luck ,cya,btk572

    I pulled this off the web but I'm not sure what 100% acetone would do to paint.

    "Because the active ingredient in Crazy Glue and other super bonders is cyanoacrylics, what you really need is 100% acetone."

    You could try pure acitone which most nail polish removers have in them but try it in the pure form. Try it on the paint in a non visable area first to make sure the paint will not be affected. 3M also has a adhesive remover which works very well & is paint safe but not sure if it will work on crazy glue. put some on a rag or cotton ball & keep soaking the glue then try to remove with fingernail. if all else fails get some better glue & put the emblem back on Mike

     MEK should work, BUT you will get to see what color your primer is if you use it.  Mayme time for a bumper sticker or bullet hole of some type.  Sad

     I do actually work in paint and body, one thing you may not have heard of is called an "eraser wheel". It is a rubberish wheel that you can stick in to your drill (it has a bit stuck in the middle of it) I use it to take off stickers, two way tape, and other type of adhesives on cars, best part is it won't mess with paint, a little hand polish will bring it right back afterwords. I have not tried it on super glue though and don't use it on or near plastic as it does eat plastic, just tape over plastic if it is close to problem area.

    If that doesn't work I would try laquer thinner, or gun cleaner as we call it. Laquer shouldn't remove an oem baked finish, but It will haze up your clear coat, but it too can be brought back with a slightly more abrasive polish than the eraser wheel.

    Last but not least is sanding. Start with 12-1500 grit paper wet sand, finish with 2000-3000 grit then buff with extra cut compound, then buff with finish compound, 

    If you want to re-emblem there's a few ways to go about that too, the classic two sided tape, is always handy, but it doesn't work well on smaller emblems, if that is what you have, I have some good stuff for that too but can't remember the name of it, but I can get a part # if you want. Let me know, I'm actually ordering some now as I used it up on friday.

    I've had some luck getting some very tough highway paint off of a vehicle using a detailer's clay bar & some windex to keep it moist.  You could remove most of the glue with a razor blade & light sanding & then go after what's left with the clay.  The clay will not mar your clear coat if you keep it moist.
