I got a little superglue on my leather seats. What would be the best possible solution to removing it w/ out fading or damaging the leather?

watching, this might be good to know should it ever happen to me...

here you go! from how stuff works

Remove Glue Spots From:
Leather, Suede

Very gently scrape to remove any excess material. Mix a solution of mild soap in lukewarm water. Swish to create a great volume of suds. Apply only the foam with a sponge. Wipe with a clean dry cloth. Repeat if necessary to remove any sticky traces. On leather, follow with Tannery Vintage Leather Cleaner & Conditioner or Fiebing's Saddle Soap to condition the leather

Well im back, and no luck, glue is still intact. I used really sudsy soap, allowed the suds to work its magic, rubbed really hard on it, and nope its still there. I have to find a solution because its really getting on my nerves since my leather is new

I know you used acetone (nail polish remover) to remove super glue, don't know how well that'll react to leather though.

been there, done that, bad idea lol

i used a small amount of pure acetone, almost rubbed the color right off

I have no idea how it will react to leather, but you can get super glue debonder at many hobby shops. You could always test it on some other piece of leather first and then try it. Really don't know what it will do to materials though.

goof off. works for most adhesives.

You may end up using acetone to remove the glue and then follow up with some black shoe polish to redye the leather.
Did you try working the glue with like a razorblade around the very edge? It might not be attatched very well.

He is correct on the goof off or any of the other like items out on the market like it with an orange oil base that will remove the glue from any surface without damaging it!

Good luck!

try the acetone againg but instead dilute it with some water or use nail polish remover bc its not pure acetone along with a really good leather cleaner also btw where did u get pure acetone from?

kanundrum
