Here's the thing...

Standard normal super glue is water soluble.. It says so on the label if you look carefully..

Not sure if this will work but give it a go... Try boiling water from a kettle.. And then pour it over the glue letting it slowly drip on to it to try and soften it, it then might gently peel off, or you'll be able to rub it off with a soft cloth.

If acetone works as Anthony says, then use it, it wont damage the paint work, and the area can be easily polished afterwards, go grab your mum or girlfriends nail polish remover, as they are usually acetone based, another thing worth trying might be petrol, you might need to leave it on the area for a bit, but I bet it will soften the glue and make it easy to rub off..

Update: Boiling water didn't work because it's been on there too long! oops!

Next: Nail polish remover...

Also here's a Tip: Hairdryers are brilliant to get glue off after decal removing! and also I debadged the 'FIESTA' badge with only the help of a hairdryer! Result!

i did the same thing, i tried acetone and it does work on getting some of it off but if your not careful (i wasnt) you end up with a very smooth area witch doesnt want to come off, i took mine to my mates dads car body shop and they got it off with some very fine sandpaper, gave it a polish afterwards and you wouldnt even know it was there.

I got it off with acetone nail polish remover!
I poured water over the area straight after but thanks for the heads up because I'm going to check for any remaining!
