How to remove gum from the exterior

[wa2tuff]

I'm leaving my car after parking it sideways in the parking lot at work. Yeah, I said sidways. It's the only way to try to insure some moron doesn't hit it with their door. Anyway, there is a couple of globs of chewing gum on the fender and door. Sticky, gooey, freaking chewing gum. How can I get this crap off my car? The only thing I can think of is alcohol. I can't do anything til I get home tonight around 9:30 so if anyone has any other ideas, please share them. Thanks.

Thanks to Christine, LUCA, for her help. She suggested GooGone. It worked perfectly. I had to use alot of it but it took all the gum off. Thanks again.

Make sure you put some wax on it. The citrus cleaner most likely removed it. I would have suggested bug and tar remover. Also use to get gum out of clothes by freezing it with ice and picking it off once it hardens up some. I don't think that would have done it though.

Great reason why carrying some QD on hand. This happened to my Cougar one summer. Removed the fresh gum, then sprayed with QD and everything was fine.
