So I drive to work this afternoon and when I get out of my car, I find gum all down my driver's side! I guess my tire picked it up and flung it all down the side!!!

now I have to try and get it off when I get home later tonight, anyone have any good techniques to remove gum?

That's a bag of suck. The only thing i can think of is maybe water based Goo gone, or maybe rubbing alcohol.

Wd 40

Probably Bug & Tar remover will do the job.

WD40 works and Goo gone is another way that works.

Awesome, thanks for the advice I'll try the wd 40 and goo gone, have plenty of it at the house. Yea I'm not very happy about the situation....

Just spotted this also. That may work well.

Another product that you can try using is canned air, found in most office or home supply stores. The strong pressure of the canned air should harden the chewing gum and help separate it from the car, allowing for easier removal.

Yea you can use GooGone that will work, in fact last week I accidently stepped on some gum and got it all over my brake pedal and I was so pist!....When I got home I spent 30 minutes scrubbing that crap off my brake pedal but I finally got it all off...

Ice cubes. Freeze the stuff then it pops off pretty easy.
