How to Remove Gum from Car Body
Gum can be a sticky nuisance to remove from your car body, but there are a few simple tricks you can use to get the job done without damaging your paint.
Method 1: Use Ice
- Place an ice cube in a plastic bag and hold it against the gum for a few minutes.
- The cold will harden the gum, making it easier to remove.
- Once the gum is hardened, use a credit card or other thin object to scrape it off the car body.
Method 2: Use WD-40
- Spray a small amount of WD-40 onto a clean cloth.
- Gently rub the cloth over the gum until it starts to dissolve.
- Once the gum is dissolved, wipe it away with a clean cloth.
Method 3: Use Goo Gone
- Apply a small amount of Goo Gone to a clean cloth.
- Gently rub the cloth over the gum until it starts to dissolve.
- Once the gum is dissolved, wipe it away with a clean cloth.
Method 4: Use Peanut Butter
- Apply a small amount of peanut butter to the gum.
- Let the peanut butter sit on the gum for a few minutes.
- 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.
