Try to loosen it up with the good ol' thumbnail and some window cleaner (or wd40 or somehting along those lines). You could also take something with a flat edge liek a paint scraper, wrap it in an old t-shirt (so u dont scratch the **** out of the paint), and try that. Dont yell at me for that last solution either... it works on my DD Exploder EBE and ive never scratched it.

well they make some stuff that you spray onto the gum and it freezes it and makes it hard as a rock then all you have to do is pull it off either with a scraper or hands gets the gum off the sidewalks at my work..
