I screwed up.. Super Glue!
So i was trying to reattach the trim via superglue, i used a bit too much and so it dripped down all over the plastic/vinyl
I tried the magic eraser, magic eraser with nail polish remover (with acetone),
straight acetone from the bottle, rubbing alcohol, goo gone, water, meguairs interior cleaner.. and tried to razerblade little bits.. my efforts all failed.. and now i think i just may have faded the plastic/vinyl..
how do i get this stuff off!?![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)

Start going through the other paint thinner chemicals? Acetone you already tried, but what about turpentine, Naphtha, Toluene, White spirit, Xylene, Methyl ethyl ketone, and Dimethylformamide? If you can't chemically remove it, then you'll just have to slowly keep chipping away at it with a razor.

Acetone is the only solvant I know of that will remove super glue.
Unfortunately, as you have discovered, it also removes paint and attacks plastics.
I would try scraping the rest off with something that won't scratch, like your fingernails.
Hell, you can pick at it while stuck in traffic!
