    Oooh, I'll have to pick some of that up. I totally forgot about gum-stuck-to-carpet/mats situations.

    This is what I have found to work best. Put some ice in a baggie. Use it to freeze the gum. Then most of it can be picked or scrapped off with a plastic knife. A little hair spray dabbed on it should remove what is left!

    I use my nitrous bottle. 1 second squirt and the gum snaps off in pieces.

    The easy way for me is use ice stick to the gum (to make it stiff) then you can remove it.:thumb:

    Spray can of air held upside down when spraying will have the same effect.

    Yeah you're right, I totally forgot about this. I assume the cans of air are cheaper right?

    Autoglym Intensive Tar Remover. Spray on, wait about 20 seconds and rub with a MF. Usually works for me.
