Acetone or fingernail polish remover usually dissolves superglue (cyanacrolite)
Test either solvent on an inconspicuous part of the seat to see if it also removes the leather color. You can probably restore the color with shoe polish if necessary. Good luck.

Check your local hobby shop for Super Unglue...
Be REALLY careful with it though, it'll potentially color the seat.
Basically, your in deep poop spilling that stuff, just test everything before using it.

Hey, do not use acetone on the finish as it will remove the finish and top coat extremely quickly
It will take off the superglue, but it will take the finish right along with it. I work at The Leather Institute in New Jersey, we would use an alcohol to get it off, but we can restore the color perfectly, correct sheen and all. If you are in our area I would be glad to take care of it for you, but if not please pm me and I will definitely figure out a solution for you.
Also do not use shoe polish as it crocks (means it wipes off onto your clothes, etc.) which is not exactly what you want on a nice summer day in your bright white shirt. Again, pm me and I will help you out, that goes for anyone on this board, if you need help please feel free to pm me with questions or mishaps.
Thanks
Sean

Sean,
It sounds like this is a job for a pro. I think our friend lives DownUnder, so I think he'll need to consult a pro down there.
Thanks for the info... good stuff to know!
