GUM

I got some damn gum on the side of my car. I can't seem to get it off! I've tried soap+water, but I need something better! Suggestions?

Bug & Tar remover... Or Goo Gone <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Should take it right off. I'd get it off as quick as possible as it's got all sorts of acids in it!

Re: GUM

i also heard of some stuff that if you spray it on the gum, it freezes it, then its easy to come off. try home depot, carpet cleaning section

Re: GUM

This works for me.

Take a can of compressed air, hold it upside down, and spray on the gum. It will freeze it right off. Try not to spray yourself though, because it will leave a bruise.

Re: GUM

liquid Co2, that would freeze it good, muhahah!

But where is the gum on? If its on the body, i agree in getting it off fast. I'd say try the freezing it thing.
