Car vandalized! Need help...

Some a$$hole splattered Super Glue or some similar substance all over my driver side door and window! Some of it got on my t-tops as well. I've tried adhesive remover, laquer thinner, and acetone on the glass surfaces to no avail. Does anyone know what I can use to get this stuff off the painted surfaces with. I can probably scrape it off the glass with little trouble, but I don't wanna f*ck up my paint if I don't have to.

Sorry to say this but if it ain't coming off your window with stuff as stong as Laquer thinner.. It sure as hell ain't coming off of your paint. I would use the window as a tester for how stong of stuff you really have to use.. but the paint for sure has to come off if laquer thinner isnt getting it off..

couldn't he use a really fine grit sandpaper to sand off the glue without scratching the paint?

If its not coming off with Laquer Thinner.. You would have to scrub suuuupeeeer hard with a fine grit sand paper to get it off. Plus if the glue is "splattered on", your gonna have a bunch of sanding spot marks on the paint

Thas sux. I would call a few paint and body shops. I'm sure they have ran into the issue with a customer before. Good luck.

Hang on I might of fould something on a web sites. Its this stuff you put on model cars to remove the glue with out hurting the paint.


for info= it says use debonder that will desolve glue and not harm paint.

Thats going to be hard to find. What I'm looking for on www.google.com for you is a <font color=red>debonder</font> that will removed the bonding agent found in super glue but will not hard paint. You could call a hobby store and explain the problem and see if they have the stuff. If you but it try it at the junk yard on a car to see if it does anything on the paint. You should let it sit for atleast 24 hours. Or you can try it on your X girlfreinds car hehe J\k.
