Team Adam's Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 If you can't find freeze in a can you can just use canned air, like the kind you get to clean computer keyboards. Just hold the nozzle up close to the gum, the propellant will freeze anything near it. Make sure to wear a glove b/c that can will get cold quick.

Memphis Senior Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 Thanks everyone for helping out. Sorry it took so long to get back. Holidays you know. Anyway here are the before and after photos. Before: Really made a mess before I noticed it. Was going to try the peanut butter thingy. But got hungry, so I ate it instead. After: That Freeze stuff works GREAT. Was going to try something I had lying around called "Goo Be Gone." But the warnings said it might fade carpets. Not to shabby for a 2 y.o. daily driver with 19K on the clock. Hope it still looks this good 8 years and 250K from now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dipolley Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Great turn around. I am very impressed I will have to order the freeze stuff to keep in my detailing kit. Anyone notice lately that the really nontypical detailing questions have been solved with peanut butter lately. Perhaps there is a potential product idea here. A cleaner with a peanut oil base and a mild abrasive. Think Fine Machine polish mixed with Jiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
