i've tried nail polish remover (acetone) it did nothing
I had a run of superglue that had hardened on the wing for ages.A mate suggested acetone and initially it didn't seem to work.However i kept trying in 1 spot (being careful to check periodically that the paint around and under was ok) - and very slowly it did dissolve. However took ages.
Your glue/acetone/paint situation might be different - however it worked for me. And although very slow, the gentle dilution worked 100% effectively in the end. A good lockdown task!
Perhaps worth another try in 1 spot - or with a different nail polish remover.
You'll need to soak it with acetone for a while before it softens, the danger here is that it will take your paintwork with it as well.
Superglue isn't actually that good a glue, so you may well be able to chip it off without damaging the paint. You'll need a strong plastic scaper of some sort, like an ice scraper.
I'd suggest 'Goo Gone'

I've not tried it on superglue but as it's citrus based it does a really good safe job. I've used it to clean up sticky buttons etc. It's mild but effective.
I soak it on a piece of kitchen roll and leave it to penetrate the glue.
