Remove Chewing Gum from my car, it is on the bonnet tried to remove without luck, any help would be appreciate

Question

How can I remove chewing gum from the bonnet of my car, have tried a few suggestions without any luck..

Answer 1

petrol disolves chewing gum, if it disolved paint you've have no paint left on the bodywork below the filler cap!

Answer 2

freeze the gum, then it should peel right off.

Answer 3

try using some tar remover

Answer 4

try some lighter fluid. it should loosen it up. JUST DONT LIGHT IT. lol

Answer 5

This is a sure thing...Try to wipe it with a cloth with kerosene or gasoline it wouldnt damage the paint from your car.

Answer 6

Wipe it off with a rag with a bit of petrol on it. Petrol will disolve the gum but will not bring the paint off.

Answer 7

Use peanut butter, It's not going to take your finish off and will lift the Gum off in seconds,  

Answer 8

put it in the shade and use ice to freeze it off

Answer 9

freeze it then it should flake off. Remember Gum is softer than paint it can even be scraped with a ice scraper then rewax the bonnet so other gum chewers don't leave you a sticky mess.

Answer 11

Try taking an ice cube and freezing the gum.  Make sure the gum turns rock hard, then pick it off.  Unless the gum has set into the fabric this has always worked for me.

Answer 12

I would wait until the bonnet is cool then try some WD40 this seems to shift tar so fingers crossed it should work with the gum. Don't forget to wash and apply a liottle polish after god luck
