Help: Crazy Glue on CF Splitter!!

I installed CF Splitters on my car this weekend. The next day I noticed that the edge of one of the splitters wasn't glued enough.

So I tried to use crazy glue to fix this. I accidently got some crazy glue on the splitter and can not get it off. I went online and found that acetone is supposed to remove the glue. I tried nail polish remover, which has acetone in it, but was not very successful. I could use pure acetone but do not want to ruin my two day old splitter. Any ideas?

I tried goo gone and it did not really work. I will try again though, how long should I leave it on there?

Should I rub the goo gone in or just let it sit the glue on and wipe off?

3M adhesive remover. I have used this on tar and glue left on the car after a clear bra was removed. Worked perfect on these.

I bought mine at an auto paint supply store.

On the glue from the clear bra I got a good paper towel and soaked it with the adhesive remover and laid it on the glue. Left it on for a few minutes and I was able get the glue off no problem.

Hope this will work for you.

Thanks for the advice guys, I have gotten most of it off with nail polish remover and goo gone.

Anymore Suggestions.

Yes, buy Oops remover. Just don't let it sit like the goo gone and it will take it off completely. You could buy it from AutoZone at the paint and sandpaper section.
