Freeze the gum plain and simple. Get a ziplock bag poor a little bit of water in, drop some ice cubes and drown those suckers in salt. The ice,salt,water combo will drop the temperature from 0 degrees to I think it was about -10 degrees F. Regardless place the ziplock bag on the gum to freeze the gum. It will contract and harden and it should come off relatively easy after that.

There are cleaning products to remove gum such as bye-gum but I don't know what it would do to the cloth. A car detailer might also be able to suggest something.
Now maybe you can tell the story of how gum got on your seat??

For gum in body hair - especially kids head hair, try chunky peanut butter - rub it in the oils make it soap and water soluble, the chunks act as a mild abrasive - follow with shampoo, repeat if it is still there. For cloth, can't help you there but after you get it off, you might want to consider seat covers....but watch for airbag ports.
umm u can get compressed air like for cleaning keyboards turn the can upside down itll freeze it and then pull it off works on most things not sure what it will do to fabric seats

Something experimental - and you might want to try putting gun on a peice of cloth and testing this first - but if freezing is supposed to work ... At most drugstores you can now get freezing kits - such as CompoundW Freeze Off. About 25 dollars or less, They will have them in odd places like where they have foot supplies - they are for removing warts -
But they give you mix of ether, propane, and isobutane that creates a frozen spot without the worry of oils or water - that should make the gun hard enough to chip away - just don't smoke if you try it!
So if there is a gum spot on your seat, and a gum spot on the seat of your pants... LEAVE THEM!!! THE COMBO WILL KEEP YOU IN PLACE BETTER IN THE TWISTIES!!!
