Post subject:  Chewing Gum
One of my mates got chewing gum stuck to his jeans, and then proceeded to transfer it onto one of the seats in my motor. Anyone got any tips/products for getting rid of it? My usual car valeter wants £5 off me to remove it, no chance.

To be honest mate, I'd stump up the fiver. Gum is a pain in the backside to get off.

I have to stump up another £20 and pay for a valet to get that price, he wants £15 to do it on its own, and he let me down last time so I don't know what to do :x

Freeze it with ice cubes then you'll be able to pick it off.

How do I do that?

Or, get some grease proof paper, cover the gum and run a hot iron over it. That should cause the gum to de-stick from the seat and attach to the paper

Put the ice cubes into a bag and leave them on top of the gum for 10 minutes. Then the gum will be hard and will just pick away. If it's quite a big bit then once you've got the top bit off you might find the underneath is sticky - if so just stick ice on it until it's hard.

Bloody hell lad it's not rocket science! G Gal is right it is the best way. If you find it easier buy some liquid nitrogen that'll freeze it nicely.
