Default Removing glue ???

Does anyone have any ideas on how to remove glue from headrest fabric without destroying the headrest?

Thank you in advance.

Isopropyl alcohol spray, is pretty good at shifting things like that.

Freeze spray can work depending how far it has penetrated the fabric.

I managed to get some glue out of a carpet with this trick as it goes brittle.

Acetone works great for remong glue from your skin unsure on fabric but worth a punt.

Cellulose thinners on a dampncloth will do the trick, it softens the glue.

I use gun wash for any clean up jobs of this nature.

Do you know what sort of glue it is? For example, is it an impact/contact adhesive like Bostik or most fabric glues. Or a hard resin type glue such as Araldite? Different glues need different treatments. Having said that, the situation being a large (?) area of a textile surface isn't likely to be easy. Looks like an MG 'badge'.

I'd be wary of the WD40 idea, your next post would be how do I get rid of the WD40.
