problem with magic eraser is that it is soft and varies in pressure while you 'sand' out the ca and surrounding paint. it's difficult to control.

now a sanding block you have easier consistent control of the pressure applied. that is why i recommend sanding blocks over magic eraser.

besides, magic eraser and household cleaners belong inside the house.

 

Whoa just saw this :P

Go to your local hobby store, I think ACE has it. They actual make something called super glue remover. Just work that into your paint, it might take a couple passes and it will remove any waxes so that area will look like shit until you re-detail that area.

Your other options are high strength acetone (not nail polish remover), the stuff that comes in the metal cans. Do not use alot, little by little.

WD-40 has worked well for me on glue RESIDUE but not sure if itll do alot to super glue.

You can also try a thing called nitromethane which is the gas used in nitro hobby cars. I think ACE has this as well.

After it comes off using any of these methods, I would wash, clay, and re wax the entire front. Hope one of these work for ya.

 

thanks qb! I'll look for superglue remover tomorrow.

 

qbmurderer,
Just curious: Don't you still have to do some light sanding even after working the super glue remover? 1000-grit and 2000-grit sandpaper would be right about spot-on I think.

I'm not sure how well the CA remover works after the superglue has had six days to dry...

 

Im not entirely sure as ive never dealt with it first hand, just read other peoples experiences. I would do a couple passes with the super glue remover. Thoroughly wash and clay bar the area. If that doesnt work then you can WET sand it with the 2000 grit sandpaper. It will scuff up the area so would need to buff it out with a polish. If that super glue removar/wash/clay doesnt work, pick up some swirlx and microfiber towels. After you wetsand it work the swirlx in to remove the scuffing. Please be careful when doing this, and use wet sanding as an absolute LAST resort.

 

I'm too scared to take sandpaper to my car. Someone who's done it before will have to do it. Or I'll rock glue on the bumper til I find a front bumper I like.

 

Like I said though you shouldn't need the sandpaper. Just try the super glue remover and some clay first.
