Brushed a car park bollard and need to remove the white paint it's left behind on the bumper. Doesn't appear to be undercoat as it is raised about the paint layer.

Also need to remove superglue from spilling when gluing the reflector back on.

Acetate might do both-try it on a ear bud in the centre of thr area and somewhere out of view on bare paintwork first to make sure it doesn't strip or damage the clearcoat though.

I would try AutoSmart Tardis

I believe Littleade means/ is referring to acetone which might eat into the plastic lens and may even remove too much paint, it's nail polish remover.

Acetate is what OHP sheets are made of.

I read as nail polish remover

The stuff I used to remove glue off my son's silver plated money box and took the plating off. Luckily it's underneath, but I wish I'd left the glue there. :(

you're right I did mean nail polish remover! My upkock... who was the old bird in the 70's that used to get her words mixed up, must be a distant relation.... as BT suggests above might be worth trying tardis 1st as it won't damage the paint. Another possibility would be to ask your local spray shop what they might use as they're bound to have something suitable.

Think you mean Hilda Baker aka Nellie pledge?

Yes that's her..... Lee's clearly a Corrie fan, but his secret's safe with us......

Remember that a lot of nail polish remover does not nowadays contain Acetone. I recently had a little accident with Locktite 403 and some spilled on to the plastic lower valance of my Yeti, I tried Tardis and Acetone to get rid but to no avail.I,ve watched every video on You Tube to find a remedy, but have drawn a blank.Like Gadgetman I could do with some advice on this.

Superglue remover will remove the superglue.

...then there's always amyl acetate (amyl ethanoate) which is a solvent for lots of things. However, I wouldn't trust it (or acetone!) anywhere near my car!

That was my thought as well

Acetone is used to synthesize Methyl Methacrylate (superglue) and will also turn it back to the liquid/gel state for removal.

Superglue remover has the advantage that it contains an inhibitor that keeps it in the liquid/gel state for much longer.

Amyl acetate is used specifically as a solvent for paint, varnishes and lacquers. It is very effective at removing clearcoat :(
