Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I ordered a new Carrera emblem for my ride and when I removed the old one, I found that someone had tried to superglue the top part of the "C" at some point in time. I tried to pick at it but it's pretty hard so I wet sanded it some then wiped the area with mineral spirits but it's still there. I applied the new emblem with the hopes it would cover most of it, but it came out pretty lousy. Anyone know how to remove superglue without damaging the paint?

POST 3Original post

Nail polish remover works on it ... lacquer thinner would do it as well, I'd say.

POST 4Original post

sounds scary on the clearcoat, personaly id stay away and look for some acersol

POST 5Original post

A little lacquer thinner won't harm a modern paint finish, just use a little bit on a clean cloth. Make sure and apply wax afterwards. Bodyshops use it to remove rubber marks or another vehicle's paint from the car.
