Gum in my leather seats! Help Please.
Ok so somehow I managed to sit in some gum at the softball games last night.
Noticed today when I got outta my car and there was dried gum in the drivers side seat.
Its not a huge chunk but rather like three small sections that are pretty mashed in there.
Any ideas on how I can get it out without damaging the leather seats?
Thanks!

Goo gone, could even use peanut butter. (The oil will break down the stickness and you should be able to remove it)
Or you can try freezing it, ice or I did this once on a leather chair, take a can of electronic air duster. Turn it upside down , the liquid coming out is like 0 degrees freeze instantly. However Id do this as a last resort. I dont think it would but i suppose theres an outside chance you could damage the seat.

I'd start with with icing it. You can put it in a bag so you do not soak your seat, Should freeze the gum so yuo can peel it. Solvents may wok, but they will break down the protective sealer on the leather. Good luck.
