Gum and more, - cleanerguy - 04-22-2015
Whats is the method that Rick uses for gum?
I already did the Cimexing job and want to go back and hit some bad spots, but I am not going to take the machine again. I am thinking I can do it by hand.
Maybe freeze it apply the gel and scrub by hand.
Thanks

1. Spray the Gum Freeze Spray onto the gum. Wait a couple of seconds for the gum to harden.
2. Then take a blunt scraper tool such as a paint scraper - and chip up the frozen gum. Pick up the gum pieces.
3. Add a small dab of a solvent gel, such as CTI ProSolve gel, or a good citrus gel. Blot the spot with a towel (or paper towels).
Note: I prefer to use paper towels for picking up the gum pieces, and for blotting the solvent gel.
That entire process normally takes less than a minute per piece of gum.
