you could try some mineral spirits (available at most hardware stores, commonly used inside...) to start with, and/or you can use paint remover on a rag then lightly rub the glue only.

I was joking! The paint remover can take off the paint under the superglue, thus getting rid of the glue ..... but then you might want to re-paint the part.

I don't know what can take off super-glue without hurting the paint. I'll take a look online to see if I find anything.

These guys say that nail polish remover will work. I say, try it with a Q-tip and roll the swab on the glue only .... wipe clean with a wet rag every few minutes to neutralize the acid.

well falkore your joke is true.... you can remove it with paint remover as long as you're gentle with a rag, it also works well for tree sap (I've done it personally on my car and we've done it on new cars on the lot...) and it didn't hurt the paint at all.
