Default Removing Super Glue

I bought some stock emblems for my car and removed the ugly type r bright red ones (previous owner had em).

So I buy some Goo Gone and I get started. Back comes off pretty good--satisfied. I go over to the front and the dumbass used superglue, and on top of that the emblem came off easy.

So there I am, working for about half an hour and the damn super glue doesn't come off (goo gone doesnt work). I scratched up my paint a little bit while I was doing it and I didn't get much of it off.

How do I take it off?

How about a heat gun or a hair dryer to heat it up? I've never dealt with super glue before. Make sure though that with both of those you don't do it for too long where you paint starts to mess up.

Try use some carburetor and valve cleaner and sprayed on a cloth and promptly removed it safely.

dont ever use goo gone instead use penetrating oil it works wonders compared to goo gone or at least on cars it does. that is how i removed my pin stripe. i started with goo gone and got about a third of the way through one and decided i have got to find something easier. my dad suggested pb blaster and it worked really well. took me about 5 mins with pb and about an hour with goo gone.

Acetone gets super glue off. Unfortunately it might take the paint off as well. You might and try and consult your local body shops and see what they say and recommend. Good luck to you.
