Under my car
I'm leaving my car after parking it sideways in the parking lot at work. Yeah, I said sidways. It's the only way to try to insure some moron doesn't hit it with their door. Anyway, there is a couple of globs of chewing gum on the fender and door. Sticky, gooey, freaking chewing gum. How can I get this crap off my car? The only thing I can think of is alcohol. I can't do anything til I get home tonight around 9:30 so if anyone has any other ideas, please share them. Thanks.
 
Thanks to Christine, LUCA, for her help. She suggested GooGone. It worked perfectly. I had to use alot of it but it took all the gum off. Thanks again.
 
Make sure you put some wax on it. The citrus cleaner most likely removed it. I would have suggested bug and tar remover. Also use to get gum out of clothes by freezing it with ice and picking it off once it hardens up some. I don't think that would have done it though.
