SW03ES Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 I had to edit your post, I know that you're upset but we're careful about the type of language used around here ;) As for the mats, try a couple things. Goo gone, ice, and seltzer water. If those don't work, Lexus-Parts sells the mats as an entire set only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanigu Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 FWIW, I've heard that dabbing on Peanut Butter works wonders to get stubborn gum off...never tried it tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is probably worth having a second set for spares. 2) http://autopia-carcare.com/ is a discussion site for detailing fanatics (like me) and covers cleaning problems in great detail.

VBdenny Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Try ICE. Fish a cube out of your cocktail and hold it on the gum. The gum gets really hard and you can chip it off. Someone told me and I didn't believe it, but it works. By the way, I hate gum. People hawk it out the window and then you get long gooey strings of someones chewed out gum on your lower panels. Spearmint is the most offensive smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
