Help! Gum on a Leather Seat.....
How can you remove gum that is stuck to a leather seat........

Did you try leather cleaner? Some of it, like Meg's wipes, are so dang oily I would think it would come off fine. Is it hardened on?
I mean these use peanut butter in hair due to oils, so the oil in Meg's would work.
I would NOT use peanut butter, of course!!! If you use Pinnacle, or WG, or any fancy ones, I don't know if it would work or not because they are not oily like that.

Put a ice cube on it and freeze it and then try to remove it picking off a little at a time...keep repeating the process till you most off and then try a leather cleaner to get the rest off...

dry ice and other items would likely damage the leather or cause to crack. Just a simple ice cube and some time. Once gone, clean and rebuff the leather as usual.

lauren,
i never used Megs leather wipes so i can't tell you if theres a difference, but i can tell you there is over 2,000 uses for WD-40
I have used WD-40 to remove everything from grease to tar and when gum is fresh/soft it will dissolve gum down to nothing....

I think the ice trick would work well and then a little APC 10:1 when you are all done
