How can I get super glue off my car paint?

I was fixing a bookshelf in my garage. I was trying to open the super glue, I pulled a little too hard...and I accidentally flung super glue on my car. Is there any way I can get super glue off my paint?

“Everyone seems to have had a super glue mishap at some point, but at least you didn’t glue your hand to your head! Plus, the removal process is easier than you might think.
To remove the super glue from your car paint, follow these steps:
  • Wear personal protective equipment.
  • Use warm water and soak the affected area.
  • Pour acetone onto a cloth and gently rub the super glue.
  • Wipe away the super glue while it’s soft.
Hopefully, this won’t damage the paint, as this can be a
costly repair
. If it does, check to see if this falls under you
comprehensive coverage
, especially if you have a $0 deductible and won’t have to pay out of pocket.
