How To Remove Super Glue???

I have some super glue stuck on my dash and am wondering if there is any way to remove the super glue without hurting the fabric? thanks guys.

I heard acetone (acetone nail pollish remover) works good with superglue

Acetone eats through a lot of stuff...test it out first before u try it. Don't be known as the maxima guy with a hole in his dash...

The best thing to do would be to go to the manufacturer's website and look for advice. Super glues (cyanoacrylates) have their lowest strength in peel, as opposed to shear and tension. They're also sensitive to heat and cold and mildly effected by water. Try this: put an ice cube in a zip lock bag and hold it on the glue. The object is to get it as cold as possible while still keeping it dry. Then try to gently scrape it off. If that doesn't work, try wiping it off with hot water and a little mild soap. Acetone is an absolute last resort because it will melt your dash instantly. If you could place a very small drop directly on the glue without hitting the dash, you may soften it enough to get it off with the hot water. If all else fails, slap a sticker on it

Look at the bottle of superglue >>>

If it is cyanoacrylate based...go to your local hobby shop and ask for CA debonder/remover...it'll smell better and should work better than acetone.
