Default GUM on my Z

Some punk stuck some gum on my rear right fender area. They stuck it there pretty good. I noticed it yesterday and i tryed to get it out but I just made it worst. What do you guys recommend for me to take this gum off my ride? I have some goo gone somewhere, will that work?

Who ever put that gum on my car is a real hater. I just had my car washed and waxed on Saturday.

Try Meguiars Scratch X, its a small abrasive compound that will turn into a polish after a while of rubbing it in the area you are applying it. Use a microfiber towel when applying it. Hope it helps.

regular wax will get it off, or that stuff called "goo gone" will work perfectly.

No dude, there's no troll to feed. He's banned, see? I was just asking if anybody knew what happened. I just can't imagine what you'd have to do to get banned after 1 post, which isn't even that bad. Oh well.

He/she/it was prolly someone that had recently been banned, and signed up with a new name. A mod may have seen that he has the same IP, and... booted him again.

No. 7 Bug cleaner

I would be very careful with "goo gone" or anything "abrasive". Goo Gone removed the paint off of my garage floor with barely any wiping (gum stuck to garage floor). I would recommend the bug/tar/sap cleaner.

I've used Goo-Gone on my finish before, and was sure to rinse thoroughly, the area that you aplly the Goo-Gone.

I would not let it sit and bake, but apply the Goo-Gone, and with a microfiber towel, rub gently. Repeat. Then rinse the area with water. Repeat until the gum is gone. Rinse the effected area again. and wax.

i would use goo gone. that's what i used to remove the left over glue after de-badging my RSX-S.
It worked fine, and took off no paint at all.

I also used goo gone to remove the 350z emblem in the rear. It worked fine. I'll see what I can do. I cant believe that some ***hole would do this crap.
