How do I remove Bubble Gum from Leather?

[KeyserSoze]

I went to the movies a few days ago, apparently I sat on a piece of gum. (Ha ha, very funny mother fvker.) Anyways......yeah, it went from my jeans to my seats in my car. I got MOST of out on my seat, but still a lot of "residue" there that I can't pick at. Is there any product that will just clean this up? I already tried a leather cleaner hoping that it would sort of grease it up, and I tried Armor All, but didn't think that it would do much anyways.


I already searched Google, but didn't find anything for Leather specifically.

Anyone have any ideas?????

(And if your laughing at my misfortunes, I'm gonna kick you in the nutz.)

Did a little looking for you...not sure if this will help much or not:

My young son fell asleep with chewing gum and it fell onto my husband's beautiful leather car seats and made a horrible mess. How do I get the chewing gum out of these beige leather BMW auto seats? SOS HELP!!! 03/05/2002
You will want to test first but you can try using De-solv-it. It will remove the gum, but may leave a a greasy spot. You can also try some freeze spray and the chip it off.

It's on my car seats that I'm trying to get it out, it's out my jeans.

maybe try gasoline?

How about Goo-Gone (Or any other of those citrus-y solvents)?

wd40 works wonders in removing gum

Leather is one of the few weaknesses of Goo Gone... :frown:

Glad you found it useful.

We used to receive a newsletter from them...I don't think we do anymore, though. They carry professional cleaning products - not the typical Wal-Mart stuff.
