Goto Home Depot and pick up some aftalyne. It is a solvent, and it should remove it.

some wax should do it.

Wax will not remove hard old gum that is stuck to the paint.

Clay would probably work.

would the aftalyne in any way harm the paint? would i have to wax after using it? thanx for the help!!
