Gum on Radian cover

jb5416 · Apr 21, 2008

OK, I hope this isn't too OT, but it does pertain to car seats. My 6 y.o. got chewing gum all over the cover of his Radian 65. Any ideas how to get it off without wrecking the darn thing?

Thanks,
Jessie

Oh UGH! I hate gum for this reason.

When I stepped on some in the parking lot and dragged it into my car before I realized it, I used ice. It got most of it off, and then I picked the rest out with a comb. I don't think the comb was very good for the upholstery though! The ice didn't harm it all, however. I'd start with that.

alternate peanut butter with ice. works every time. and if there is anything left over, wash with cold water. the radian cover can come off right??

Air in a can (like for a keyboard), turn upside down and spray. It is really cold and works well!

I like Desolvit and Goo-gone. I would get as much off as I could in other ways, then use D or G sparingly, then rinse with clear water.

Whoa. The compressed air in a can stuff is awesome. It worked--one blast and scraped it right off with a table knife. Thanks for the tip!
