Calling all carbon fiber expeerrts.....
Won a TQ10 on the Bay and think chassis has super glue where the battery cups were. Whats best way to clean it without hurting the carbon?

I recently used acetone to remove double sided tape and Velcro residue off of aluminum, and it worked great. I let it soak for a few hours and it turned to jelly.
Just keep it away from some plastics such as ABS as it'll dissolve them too.

Yup, acetone dissolves CA clue.
This probably is common knowledge but acetone can be used to remove tires as well. Just set the wheel/tire on a small block of wood in a shallow bath of acetone so the wheel/tire is elevated and not in direct contact with the acetone in a container with a lid that can be sealed to prevent evaporation. It usually takes a day or two to fully liquefy the glue but the tire will practically fall off the wheel. Use some of the remaining acetone in the container to clean the ca residue from the wheel while it's still soft.
