How do I get super glue off a car seat?

My dashboard bobblehead kept falling over, so I was trying to super glue it to keep it from sliding around. Well, one thing led to another—and I got super glue on the passenger's seat. (Trust me, I'm kicking myself.) Is there any way to remove super glue from a car seat?

“Oof—that sounds like a sticky situation! Puns aside, though, super glue removal is an easy fix.
To remove super glue from your car seat, use these steps:
  • Put on personal protective equipment.
  • Wipe up the excess glue quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
  • Pour acetone onto a rag and dab the stain.
  • Continue dabbing until the super glue is gone.
With any luck, this will remove the stain without damaging your car seat.
The bad news is that this type of damage probably isn’t covered under your
car warranty
, nor is it usually covered under your
comprehensive coverage
. Next time, putting down a drop cloth can drastically decrease your chances of spilling super glue in unwanted areas.
If you want to make sure your car has all the protection it needs—both inside and out—it might be good to see if there’s any coverage you can add to your policy. One of the easiest ways to do this is by downloading the
