Hey guys, what would be the best product to remove gum from nearly any car Interior surfaces?
I have some on a carpeted floor right now, but also when it's on vinyl, leather, and upholstered seats. I know some use ice, but something's got to be more effective.

Thankyou!

Try oil, like olive oil or cooking oil. Works for gum in hair.

wax and grease remover (prepsil) or WD40 spray on carpet leave for a couple of minutes use a plastic scraper to remove works every time
 
I use a citrus solvent product.

I haven't tried it on gum but something like Stoners Tarminator might work, or goo gone.
 
For the carpeted areas head out to your local janitorial supply store and ask for "chewing gum remover."

Here's an ice-cold alternative:

I say if there is a lot of gum on the carpet and seats.The best quickest way is to by a cheap steamer. On the carpets hold the steamer directly on top it will warm it up and you can lift it without using chemicals. On the seats do not use it directly just get it warm enough to get it off by keeping the wand about 2 inches away from the surface. Steamers come with a micro attachment for cleaning seats.This allows full contact steam on seats without scorching the material.That would be your call.Then after that your left with a decent steamer.Bob suggested sprayway I would buy 2 cans and start with that before jumping on a steamer for 100.00 gd luck.
 
Rubbing Alcohol will help break down the polymers in the chewing gum. Use a comb to pull the gum up from the carpet fibers.
 
Guys, Thankyou for all this awesome help! These seem like all great options. I'll see what ones I'll try and let you all know how it works.

Thankyou for all of your suggestions!
