Angry Removing super glue from painted surface

I ordered a new Carrera emblem for my ride and when I removed the old one, I found that someone had tried to superglue the top part of the "C" at some point in time. I tried to pick at it but it's pretty hard so I wet sanded it some then wiped the area with mineral spirits but it's still there. I applied the new emblem with the hopes it would cover most of it, but it came out pretty lousy.

Anyone know how to remove superglue without damaging the paint?

Nail polish remover works on it ... lacquer thinner would do it as well, I'd say.

A little lacquer thinner won't harm a modern paint finish, just use a little bit on a clean cloth. Make sure and apply wax afterwards. Bodyshops use it to remove rubber marks or another vehicle's paint from the car.
