Cleaner to remove ground-in GUM on shale grey 2004 leather seats?

Simple Green indicates not to use on leather and Spray Nine was noncommittal?

Thanks,

Matt, Try an "ICE-CUBE" wrapped in a wash-cloth, Freeze the gum and it should pop right-off.  Just make sure that the gum is frozen, you can tell when its frozen by your hand being frozen. Put some leather treatment on the spot after removing the gum.

I just got back from the car wash, the Ice cubes didn't work and the car wash used a cleaner and it too did not work?

Thanks,

Matt,

Try a small piece of dry ice in a plastic bag.  Place a towel between the bag and your hand (That stuff will give you a nice burn. ) Once the gum is frozen it should peel off. Try not to deform the leather too much until it returns to room temperature as it may crack.

HTH,

Call the local janitorial supply company. They will have a spray aerosol to effectively freeze the gum for removal.

Ron,

I never beard of the spray, but it sounds like a better method than dry ice. Do you know the name of it?

Ralph, 
The stuff I have is called Gum Off by Allstar.  Paid 25 cents for the can at a Swap Meet. 

Carpet Cleaners use it.  When I was a kid my little brother had gum in his hair and my mother worked it out with peanut butter.  You might try that, but always test on an inconspicuous area first when using any product.  Residual gum left from labels can be removed with mayonnaise.
