1. Nail polish remover and lots of patience.
2. i dont think u can......
3. with great care
4. A solvent-nail polsish contains acetone which is what you need.
5. It really depends on the TYPE of plastic (Styrene, ABS, Vinyl, etc), and what the texture is... Acetone will dissolve super-glue, but will also dissolve or mar plastics like vinyl. TEST the acetone on a scrap of plastic first. You could also use gentle sanding with very fine grit paper (Emory boards are great), and then using plastic polish to bring back the shine if needed. I use this often on my models.
