Default Gum... GRRR

So as I was walking out of Arbys after lunch today I notice something sticking to my car. What`dya know, some ******* stuck three chewed pieces of gum onto my car. On on the front window, one on the drivers side window, and one on the drivers side door.

After washing it, scrubbing, etc. etc. I still can`t get all of the gum on the door to come/scrape off, and there`s still some smeared on the drivers window as well.

So yeah, any suggestions on what to do to get this **** off?

My vote goes for Goo Gone, that stuff works wonders on anything gooey i.e. Gum

I think the goo gone thing should work, that happened to me when I had my celica. Only thing is make sure you put that stuff on and take it right back off, it will hurt the clearcoat if left on too long.

Don't freeze it! You risk peeling/chipping the paint.

Get Goo Gone at Target, Walmart, Home Depot.... pretty much anywhere.

Yes.


Just make sure on the car that you clean it well afterwards (i.e. wash and wax at least the door)
