Araldite is an epoxy resin and sets by chemical reaction not evaporation. AFAIK it doesn't have a solvent, though I stand to be corrected. Does it say anything in the instructions? Best time to remove excess is after about 15 minutes when it's like hard cheese (as in cheese, not bad luck).
If you have a steady hand you could try shaving it down with a stanley blade, as you reduce it you may find it starts to flake off. I have had to do this in a couple of places on the S3 and when it was all but removed I used Brasso to cut back the remainder and clean up the surface (no pun intended)
Not sure if simpo2's freezer spray idea will work as you have two similar materials, try the spray on an area of the body work that is not on full view to see if there are any adverse effects to the surface finish.

It is also possible it may drop off with the freezing spray as the glue and the car may contract a different rates.

How about using plumber's freezing spray to make it brittle? It might then be persuaded to ping off, IYKWIM.
See what araldite say, the trouble is the the glue will set harder than the laquer it's sitting on
I would, VERY VERY GENTLY take a razor blade to the glue, then sand the rest off with a block and 1200 wet and dry (wet with a lubricant) Polish out with a rubbing compound
