Method 1: Use Ice

1. Place an ice cube in a plastic bag and hold it against the gum for a few minutes.

Method 2: Use WD-40

1. Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto a clean cloth.
2. Gently rub the cloth over the gum until it starts to dissolve.
3. Once the gum is dissolved, wipe it away with a clean cloth.

Method 3: Use Goo Gone

1. Apply a small amount of Goo Gone to a clean cloth.
2. Gently rub the cloth over the gum until it starts to dissolve.
3. Once the gum is dissolved, wipe it away with a clean cloth.

Method 4: Use Peanut Butter

1. Apply a small amount of peanut butter to the gum.
2. Let the peanut butter sit on the gum for a few minutes.
3. Once the peanut butter has softened the gum, use a cloth to wipe it away.

Tips

* If the gum is fresh, it may be easier to remove.
* Do not use a sharp object to scrape off the gum, as this could damage your car’s paint.
* If you are using a chemical cleaner, be sure to test it in an inconspicuous area first to make sure it does not damage your paint.
* Once you have removed the gum, be sure to wash your car to remove any residue.
