Removing Bubble Gum from Paint?

[Somedevil]

Hi,



I don't know how it happened, ....I thought when I first saw it that my car had been keyed (new car, almost flipped out) but it turns out to be bubble gum on my car. From the front panel to the rear.



It's not coming off easily with Perls car wash, and seems to be leaving residue behind even in the spots I've worked on.



So how do I remove this crap? Would insect and tar remover be good for it? Something else? I just at this point don't want to make things worse....any help would be appreciated!

Try WD-40 and if that doesn't work then try Goo-Gone.

Use ice water to get the bulk off and then use IPA.

It usually hardens and can be safely chipped off with your nail.

Thanks for the replies!



Will running ice cubes over it work, or just use ice water and a microfiber towel? It's too thin I think to peel it off, but too long for me to want to chip it off with my fingernail.

I would try WD-40. Or you can try that freeze spray.
