Default Bloody super glue!!!!

Does anyone know how to get it off?

I have a car for sale... gti6... and someone with no taste superglued PUG in silver letters into the middle of the tailgate. The badges are off but the glue is left. Any ideas?

Nitromors will probably remove it... but dont get it anywhere else apart from where you want it... or it will strip the paint off your car

Have you tried wet and dry paper on a block? Not sure whether that'd work

It might be that right hard shit SUPERTAC or something its called, its the kind that you lose some skin whenever working with it, its like water and dry`s up in a couple of seconds, if it is i dont think its soluble (sp) it dry`s up like plastic, if so im waiting on the above post too


Good luck ollie

As Ryan said, Accetone.

The daughter uses it for her work and used it on me when I stuck my fingers together. Be careful with though as it strips the oils from your skin.
