Help!!

Any ideas on how to get gum off of a vehicle without messing up the paint. I would love to find the person that did this. I tried polishing compound because I was grasping at anything and that didn't touch it. Any suggestions?

The peanut butter and Goo Gone won't harm paint? Thanks for the suggestions.

Just remember to rewax the area afterwards.

BTW-- make sure you use creamy peanut butter if you go that route!!!

But, I would opt for GooGone or Bug and Tar remover before peanut butter...

There are other options, but these are fine

With 'every now and then' use, you're fine. I wouldn't make a habit out of doing it...

As was mentioned, rewax affected areas as all of the products mentioned (including PNB) will remove wax fairly effectively.

If you can get it DRY ICE Works on gum stuck on a carpet Iam sure it would not harm the paint Just make sure you have a heavey pair of gloves
