Suggestions welcome
Cheers guys and gals

Not come across that one before - have you tried WD40 or petrol?
If not what about meguairs Quik Clay?

Sounds nasty. Try some Claybar, dont know if heating it with a hairdryier would help, that loosens some glues.
How did it get there? Where you glueing on a body kit?

I believe you can get something "superglue" specific which will remove the glue. I think they use it to unbond fingers if they get stuck together, so it may well be safe for use on paintwork. Try a decent DIY store and check out the instuctions

You can actually buy superglue remover, not sure how it would be on a painted surface though.

I was removing the 1.6 16v from the boot that the previous owner had stuck on with bloody superglue, (what a prat) she was.

There is this stuff that bodyshops use called panel wipe, it gets most glues off, don't know about superglue like but its worth a shot
