    If its glue, acetone should remove it, nail polish remover would do it.

    and both liquids would not damage the cars paint?

    It shouldn't. I just used it on my car without issue, but that being said its good practice to try it on a small discrete section first.

    just tried the nail varnish remover there, it didn't have any effect on the glue.

    Surprised it didn't work. Is it maybe reisin rather than glue, or something else?

    If it's epoxy the OP will need to use heat to soften it before applying the solvent.

    would a hair dryer do the trick?

    It might if it's hot enough. Be warned though it takes quite a bit of heat and the epoxy will still be very stubborn even with acetone.
