Gum removal from my Mercedes leather seats: use scotch tape and dab at it over and over (don’t just put the tape on it and pull it off). I used 2 inch packing tape and you must repeatedly dab at it up and down to slowly pull the gum up. Don’t worry about the gum on the tape because it will stay there, just keep dabbing and then move to a cleaner piece of tape.

My 3 year old smeared gun on our plasma TV and I used WD40. It work really fast and I didn't have to scrub, which would have scratched the screen. I spayed it directly on the gum and used a damp cloth to rub it off. Works great! -

I used vegetable oil to remove some white chewing gum from the black leather interior of my car. Put it on a clean cloth and rubbed hard. Then wiped over with a soapy sponge. Worked perfectly.
