    Took the lady's jeep to the shop last week and she used my old Yukon that I keep around for stuff like this while I was at work. Apparently I had the truck "parked too close to the bushes" so when she left the driveway she somehow ripled the right half of the bumper off the brackets. Now this is understandable, accidents happen, and it's not like it was on my new truck so this is a blessing. BUT

    She went into panic mode right after it happened and used like 3 different types of adhesive (one has dried into a yellow color on the white paint) it is all over the bumper and the vehicle. Just globs of super glue everywhere. I have zip tied the bumper back onto the vehicle and I really don't care to fix it further right now as it looks fine and it's a spare truck. But how the actual *** do I get this **** off my ****ing car?! Nail polish remover? I mean it's everywhere

    I put some gorilla tape on my bumper a few months ago. When I removed it only the thin black outer layer came off. All the adhesive stuff is ON THERE.

    So this thread interests me too. So far 3M adhesive remover and goo gone are recommended. Anyone else got any ideas? This stuff is on there like for real.

    goo gone will work on all that stuff. Also, don't use gasoline but instead use butane/lighter fluid. very effective at removing a lot of different materials.

    on edit re-reading Pen's OP, if she really did gob super glue on it your best bet would probably be straight acetone, which you can get at Home Depot as well
