Whats the best stuff at removing this? Is it even possible? Looks like the previous owner underestimated how runny the stuff is and got it on the centre console of the car. Im thinking white sprit or paint stripper? |

Probably, might even need to use some abrasive to get it off. Not gonna be easy to get off without damaging the dash anyhow! |

white spirit and paint stripper wont touch it. Once cured, cyanoacrylate basically becomes acrylic (perspex). You can get some cyano debonder stuff, not sure where from mind you. Try a model shop. |

Always the way FFS. The only things i left on that car were things that i thought noone could possibly ever need a spare of.  |

i know with window stickers its best to 'melt' the glue with a hairdryer then get the last bit of residue off with some window cleaner, dunno if the same can be done with super glue though, might be worth a go. |

wont work on cyano, unless you get it hot enough to melt the centre console itself. |
