How to Remove Chewing Gum Stuck on the Car Body?

[FinnDella]

If chewing gum is stuck on the vehicle, you can first use hot air to soften the gum and then remove it. If there are residues, you can continue to remove them using the following methods: 1. White vinegar: Pour a little white vinegar on the gum to soften it, then use cotton or a towel dipped in white vinegar to scrub repeatedly until clean. 2. Alcohol: Dilute alcohol or high-proof liquor with hot water, spray it on the gum residue, and wipe with a towel. 3. Essential balm: Drop a few drops of essential balm on the gum to soften it, then scrub with a wet towel. 4. Egg white: Apply egg white to the gum to loosen it, then wipe it off one by one, and finally clean with a soapy water towel. 5. Tar remover: Purchase and use a tar remover, spray it on the gum to soften it, and then wipe it off with a towel.

When gum sticks to the car body, as a long-time driver, I often encounter such accidents. The simplest way is not to scrape it hard immediately to avoid damaging the paint. My method is to use ice cubes or a frozen vegetable bag from the refrigerator to cover the gum for a few minutes, letting it completely cool and harden, then gently scrape it off with a non-sharp plastic scraper. If you're short on time, use a hairdryer on the low-temperature setting to soften the gum with heat and wipe it away with a cloth, but avoid high temperatures to prevent the paint from blistering. After treatment, add some wax during car washing to protect the surface and prevent stains from remaining. Usually, try to park away from areas with high gum risks, such as near schools. Developing this habit can save a lot of hassle.

After a gathering with friends last time, I accidentally got a piece of chewing gum stuck on the rear of my car, which made me panic. But don't worry, I've tried using common household items to solve it: for example, applying peanut oil or olive oil, letting it soak for a few minutes until the gum loosens, then wiping it clean with a soft cloth. This method is natural and safe, won't damage the paint, and is much better than buying those chemical removers. When washing the car, rinse more to avoid oil residue. Now, I'm extra careful when driving through public areas—small details can prevent bigger issues.

As a parent, when children accidentally stick gum in the car, I directly teach them to remove it using natural methods: moisten with lemon juice or vinegar, let it sit for ten minutes to soften, then gently scrub with an old toothbrush and rinse. The whole process is simple, eco-friendly, and harmless to the car's paint, making it healthier. At the same time, I take the opportunity to educate them about car care, fostering cleaning habits to avoid repeating similar mistakes.
