Having gum stick to your foot is the most annoying thing ev4r! :mad: It's hard to use the clutch because theres gum covering half of it now, but does anyone know any quick tips to get it off? It's a real pain in the ass, and I wish I would've noticed it before I got in the car. I thought "hey lets put ice on it and just peel it off", but nope, in the texas heat ice just melts and then you got wet gum that is all sticky again!
Someone help e :'(

I used some Goo Gone on a set of aluminum pedals that I had on my 97 EX and it worked like a charm....

i've never tried it but i hear peanut butter gets gum out of hair (you gotta let it dry out after putting it on)... it might work on other stuff... go figure


edit: now that i think about it, you can probably try peanut oil that's probably what does it...

they pile on a TON of crap. so funny. i'd go with the goo gone instead of home remedies. don't want the same thing happening to your clutch pedal. :D

There is a cleaning product stronger than goo gone....but otherwise I would try ice.

Or get one of those cans of compressed air....turn it upside down and spray all that frozen air on it and then wipe it off. That should work.
