on 11/22/2005 Use a soft pencil eraser to "erase off" the gum from leather. It will need to be worked a little, as the gum will take on some of the rubber from the eraser, and slowly lose its grip from the leather, but the leather is not harmed. It's also good on couches, purses, shoes, etc.

on 11/22/2005 Car seats are usually a plastic fiber, not true cloth, which Goo-Gone might dissolve.
Test in an inconspicuous area first.

on 11/22/2005 At the hardware store, they have "Goo Gone" in a bottle, which I used on some gum that I sat on. Applying a bit at a time, it dissolved the gum very quickly. Then, when I washed the pants, they were as good as new. This should work fine for cars.

on 11/22/2005 Gum can be removed by using canola oil or any type of vegetable oil. This method does not ruin the leather's finish or softness. It is perfect!

on 11/22/2005 The lite oil base of Murphy's Oil Soap reduces the stickiness of the gum, and allows you to wash away the problem. Make a sudsy bowl with two cups of warm water and a tablespoon of soap. Wash with a cloth. Then rinse with clear water.
