How to remove Gum from leather?
a friend of mine has a little boy that stuck gum all over his back seat it melted & is not very hard to remove.
Do you guys have any tips on how he should remove it & what to use?
Thank you

Easy fix
Now it depends on whether the gum still has some sugar in it. If it does a little ice and a old credit card to scrape with should do the trick. If not some peanut butter. Put the peanut butter on the gum and let it sit for a few. If you're in a rush work it into the gum. Then take a damp cloth and rub it off.

If so, it kind of depends on what kind of fabric it's attatched to, but here are numerous tips from Autopians;

I have used the ice + Goo Gone or Goof Off. I now use a compressed air cylinder that i use with my airbrush, in place of ice. Goo Gone is safer, as Goof Off is solvent based and you have to test it on a number of materials first. Has worked for me. Use compressed air if you have it, as it'll freeze the gum up faster and harder. Good luck.
