some a-hole put gum on my car

Soda Popinski · 06-19-2011, 12:27 PM

how do I get it off. they smeared it in pretty good and I washed the car yesterday but never had a chance to wax it.

What's the best way to remove this? I tried using my thumb, and a cloth but it only moves the crap around.

I'd try Goo Gone---its used to take adhesive off of cars when the emblems are removed so IDK why it wouldnt work for gum...

Ah good call. I didn't think of that. Thanks!

You may be able to freeze with an upside down can of dusting spray and pick most of it off first. Then hit it with Goo-gone.

xilles · 06-19-2011, 01:44 PM

use baby oil.

wrxfinally · 06-19-2011, 02:02 PM

Goo gone or bug and tar remover. Both work well for debadging so it should work for gum...hopefully.

damonchoy · 06-19-2011, 02:08 PM

+1 for Goo Gone. Goo Gone works for everything!

5lipstream · 06-19-2011, 04:44 PM

Goo gone works well, but WD-40 works also. Used it many times to remove gum, tar, grease, bumper stickers, etc.

DeadlyRaceReplica · 06-20-2011, 06:11 AM

I had so me gum on my boot once which ended up on the peg of my 600RR and I used the upside down can of computer cleaner to freeze and chip it off. Then used goo gone for the little bit that was left.

ComeBack_Kid · 06-20-2011, 07:08 AM

Use fire. I heard that works well.

Black94Snake · 06-20-2011, 07:47 AM

CO2 fire extinguisher should make it cold enough to chip off... But of course, thats taking it to the extreme

which I love to do!

BadTrainDriver · 06-20-2011, 07:53 AM

Second for the WD40.
That stuff is amazing, and won't hurt a thing!!

A toothpick, a propane torch, some diced tomatoes, a sawzall, a lamb chop and dry ice...
