Ask a detailer.

 

Dry ice in a bag (wear gloves)- get the gum super cold and scrape it. Also WD-40 works like a charm.

Veteran of 2 kids- Pro at melted crayons, gum and the occasional barf blow out removal in the vehicles...

 

freeze it then let the beatings commence.....I am the only one that eats in my truck, not the wife not the kids(adult kids) nada no one nil.

 

wife has car, one of 3 kids have car, if not McBarfs is half mile away and I know they own shoes.

 

Use Goo Gone if it's in the fabric (that's what it looks like from pic) or cold spray/ice if it's on the fabric.

 

Another vote for dry ice. I figured if ice was good dry ice would be better. Worked great.

 

Baby oil but it could stain...

 

Here are 15 different methods, I'm sure one of them are bound to work.

They do sell it by the can as well

Or you can go to the local Janitorial supply store and get some Gum Removal Spray for about 4 bucks for a 10 oz can

 

Really bad idea

 

Ice my friend and some patience....

 

I would be careful to use any "Oil" type cleaner or solvent. First test it on material somewhere inconspicuous. Oil tends to stain fabric and will not come out easily.

If the cold does not work ... this works on any stain 100% of the time

take key board air cleaner, turn the can upside down and spray... it will freeze gum and you will be able to pick it off with your finger nails.. no stains from chemicals.

 

I shit you not, this happened to me 2 months after I bought it and I was pissed. Looked it up and tried the first thing that made sense. Distilled white vinegar and a toothbrush. Dip the tooth brush and brush at it until it starts to break down. Then pick it off with a toothpick or tweezers or whatever. Of course then hit it with upholstery cleaner to try and get *most* of the vinegar smell out before it settles. Final step is dealing with the vinegar smell for a week or two and hitting it with the cleaner every few days until it is gone. Worked like a charm for me and saved me being extremely pissed off at my friend...

 

Stop chewing gum? Chew with your mouth closed?

 

dry ice

 

Liquid nitrogen.

 

@2k4Taco outcome?

 

I had the same thing happen, go to a dry cleaner and get some of the dry cleaning solution it will come right off.. it works for grease too..
