Hi guys, I accidentally put glue on the surface of my MacBook and you can see it as shown below. Therefore, is there a way to remove it without affecting the paint(?) of the surface? I tried to use medicated oil but it's not working so can I use nail remover?? Hope someone can help me 😭.

Thanks in advanced

Apple store can help you if in doubt...

I will say with some caution—Acetone is considered the go-to remover to break the bonds formed by super glue. Almost all nail polish removers contain acetone. For the best results, chose a brand that is mainly acetone without added conditioners. The downside is that acetone can also damage some surfaces like varnished wood and certain fabrics. Avoid skin contact, avoid the fumes...

further—

Powder coating finishes can be treated like most other paints and benefit from regular cleaning. ... NEVER use solvents such as acetone, contact cleaners, thinners or Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) to clean powder coating finishes.
