Tar removing fluid or white spirit. Just get the glue off and wash the area straight away.
(Heat it up a bit with a hairdryer and it comes off easier too).

depends if its on paint or not as some of the things above may damage it if so, same goes for some plastics
wd40 works well, followed by a suitable degreaser, be it soapy water, brake cleaner, white spirit etc

Another good product is Weldtite cycle degreaser!

Really good and I have never had any issues with it damaging any surfaces.

I'd be very worried too....
Would have thought you 'd have needed to catch that before it dried hard i.e. before the solvents evaporate.

cynoacrylates have a nasty effect on most plastics and coated surafaces and leave a white bloom which is very difficult to get off
try a clay bar and hope it hasn't eaten into the paint surafce
