Freeze it and pick it!

Try some 'freezer spray'. Pets at home do something for picking up dog mess. Gross I know but try spraying it on the gum then when it's frozen gently pick it off.

Put the seat in the freezer or drive to the Arctic.

instead of using a spray surely you could use deodorant up close or something? the propellant should freeze the gum

Can of 'air' from maplins. Bout 8 quid for a small can. After 20secs of spray becomes very very cold. Very useful for clearing blocked washer jets as well  :happy2:
