Removing Superglue..?

[Craig!]

Has anyone got any good ideas or know what to use to remove superglue from leather seats? The leather interior I got is perfect apart from on the rear head rest a stuffed toy has been stuck in. Ideally I’d want to use a product that would dissolve the glue then I’d use lot’s of leather cream to replenish the leather, but don’t know if anything like that exists.

Failing that if anyone is going to be re-trimming their car, or trading in their car and would be willing to swap rear head rests then let me know!!

Cheers for the help!!

Acetone.

Standard warning about trying it out on a spare bit of material first, etc.

yeh acetone is good for that mate

but be v careful cos if the acetone reacts with any of the chemicals in the leather then it'll **** it up big stylee. so check somewhere inconspicuous first as said above!!!!

Nail varnish remover works BUT don't know what the result will be on the leather!

now i'm not really into nail varnish but isnt nail varnish remover mostly acetone?

 

[Kam]

I just know it works! It is the wife's nail varnish remover by the way

yes nail varnish remover is watered down acetone.

Boiling water can work to remove super glue, got to be really boiling - not cooled down at all. just use a cloth (warmed up in the water 1st then reboil the kettle) soak it for a bit then gently scratch/rub it off.

As said above - CHECK IT FIRST!

if its glue and its dried hard why not take the most off by flexing the leather and picking it off ?

 

[flashbsd]

either that or simply get a replacement headrest, go on ebay quite often cheap as chips, the mk2 cupra leather one is the same on the mk3 i believe.

Mk2's headrests are different to Mk3's but they do fit.The Mk3 has a hinge arrangement in the headrest, the Mk2 does'nt,it just makes it adjustable front to back.

Flexing the leather is just going to take the top of the leather off (already tried), may look into some Mk2 ones. Going to try some thing's shortly to see what works best luckily its only the rear rest and it's not obvious.
