  • Gum on my car

    Earlier today I found some long stringy chewing gum on the back of my car near the license plate area. I'm not sure if I ran over it or if someone put it there. Anyway, most of it pealed off but some of it is stuck there. I was just wanting to know the best way to remove the remaining gum with out damaging the paint. Thanks for the help.

    edit: spelling

    My suggestion would be to try a clay bar, they work wonders on the paint.

        I agree with LadyWS6, try claybar.

        It should get it off fine.

                  i would leave it on there. you never know when something might fall off and "hey, looky there, i got some chewing gum that'll do the trick of holding this booger in place."

                  you can never have too much chewing gum, bailing wire, or duct tape.
