how do I get rid of (chewing) gum stuck on my car bonnet?
Obviously, I want a way to remove the gum without affecting the paint
Put an ice cube on it. When the gum is sufficiently cold, it will become brittle and will be easy to remove, without damaging the paint.
Urgh, that happened to me once and was a -bear- to deal with … actually I ended up waiting too long, I think, and never -have- been able to get it off completely =P But for what it’s worth, I have heard that if you get as much of the gum off as you can (with your rubber-glove clad hands, or perhaps a credit card) and then rub mayonnaise into the spot with a soft cloth, that that will get it off. I honestly can’t say I’ve tried it myself but if nothing else works it may be worth a shot …. and heck, even if it doesn’t work at least you can enjoy fantasizing about cramming the mayo jar down the throat of the vulgar so-and-so who’d put gum on your bonnet in the first place

Freeze it with ice cubes and then chip it/scrape it with a plastic implement.

try this funny method, pour some cola(pepsi/coca cola) on it then wipe it immediately with a soft cloth.

Use ice to freeze the gum and then try to remove with an old credit card or something similar that will not scratch the paint.

Freeze the gum by holding an ice cube on it for a while and it should pop right off

Get the major part of it off with your fingers (use a rubber Glove) you don’t know who’s mouth it came from…then they have a product called OOPS or Goo Gone.. that will take the rest off .. then wax the area where you cleaned.. I hope this helps you… Good Luck
