Chewing Gum on Leather

[pool_player21]

Has anyone ever ran into chewing gum on leather seats. If so what is the best thing to use to remove it?

I did one time. Someone at my highschool thought it would be funny to but gum on the back of my notebook. I didnt see it and put the notebook in my seat. I was thinking of going back to the highschool and beating the living snot out of anyone I saw, but I thought about it, and didnt like the idea of going to jail.

I didnt really know much about detailing cars at the time but I ended up using dawn on a wash cloth. I pulled all I could off by hand and got the rest out with the washcloth. I followed that with a good coat of meguiars gold class leather conditioner.

You can try freezing/cooling the gum until it becomes brittle; I have used this technique. Ice pack, liquid freeze spray or liquid N.

I have had success using the ice cube freeze to get most of it off. Then I go over it with a steamer, once it's heated up just use a towel to wipe off the residue.

Do NOT apply oil to the couch, unless you want your mom to ground you till you're a grandma. It'll leave a grease stain impossible to remove.

Take pieces of material or rags and place them on top of the gum, rub them in to get them to stick to the gum as much as possible, and then pull out. (like waxing a leg :-) ) The gum will come out stuck to the material, may need repeating, but it's a harmless way to do it.

Hmm, I think it is better to use special creams for that, I think you can get it in supoermarkets there...

Also,
Oh my oooch......You have recalled some incident which happened to my when I was 8 years old. Yups, I was seated on a chair where chewingum was pasted and It sticked with my shorts and I could not get up and all of my friends laught at me and then, our teacher had helped me to get up from it... after that my friends used to call me "Chewing...Gum Man"....It was so funny...

Wow!

2 new members and both members start out with commercial links in their signature lines?

Is this a new spamming trend?
