There are two things which come to mind.  One is that superglue is softened/dissolved with acetone.  Acetone will not damage polyester.  Disclaimer: I've never tried getting superglue off a polyester finish with acetone.
Second: you'll have to sand it off with a sanding block and fine sandpaper (400 or 600), then with 800, then with 1200/or 1500, then polish out with compounds.  Superglue is harder than polyester, so be sure to use the sanding block when leveling the finish.
Good luck!

Yesterday I had an accident with a superglue bottle which spilled a half dozen drops onto the back of a fallboard of a piano with a shiny black polyester finish.  What is the best way to remove the glue and restore the finish?
