any advice or products for this kind of crap please? Good friend of mine sat in some chewing gum and then got into my car without realising...

Thanks in advance :)

What is this, some sort of disaster upholstery hotline? :-P

it's properly rubbed in and has now got paper towel mixed in there as well, spans an area of around 3 x 8 inches.... :(

do they do liquid nitrogen at wilkinsons maria?

and what's the crack with the ice - cool the chud right down and then pick it off? :( :( :(

much needed in my house. Two kids, one aged 7 and one aged 30, who likes to cover his white tshirts in vindaloo after a night on the beer:rolleyes:

You can also try a Naptha based lighter fluid such as the "Zippo" one , that will remove the ground in gum , and to finish it off , take a bit of 4x2 plank and apply it at high speed across the back of the head of the offender until 4x2 breaks ....... if it breaks too easily first time then upgrade to a thicker bit of wood .
