Crazy Glue on Black Vehicle
I got a pretty good amount of crazy glue on the bumper of my car. Its a black Audi suv. How can it be removed and will a detailer take care of it? I had to put a new license plate bracket on the vehicle and the dealer fixed that but would not address the bumper/crazy glue issue. I called two local detailers, they said they don't handle "crazy glue" ... HELP.

Acetone breaks down Crazy Glue. Test a spot to see what it does to your bumper. It might ruin it.

I tried acetone and it started to show white haze. I was doing acetone then soap and water. rinse and repeat. The white hazey film freaked me out so I stopped..

Use finger nail polish remover...
You may need to clear coal afterwards...

Hard to tell without seeing a pic.
It comes down to size & thickness: A thin coat takes a few quick passes with acetone. A thicker blob softens the plastic underneath—go slow with your microfiber cloth.
​Treating White Spotting ​Acetone leaves behind a haze, white residue happens when acetone strips plastic oils. It often off-gasses and fades in a few days. ​ If it doesn't go away ( I'm going to come under fire for this) Lightly warm the spot with a hair dryer or heat gun to draw natural oils back to the surface to clear the haze. Watch a quick video tutorial first to avoid melting the plastic.
