Try this thread, the detailing section has a lot of useful tips on keeping our interiors/exteriors clean.

Try Rubbing alcohol, it works on getting gum out of carpets... just got to have a bit of patients cuz it doesn't come out so easy but it works. Just put some on it and let it soak for cuople mins and the try taking it out with ur hands or try a toothpick or something metal to pick it out..

Goo Gone.

Goo Gone. Best product for removeing any sticky substance. Local hardware store should have it.

Get a can off "freezing compound" sold in electronics store to "freeze" components. Freeze de gum dry cold and take it out easily. It's the method used for carpets in hotel and it works.

I hope it will help.
