TEC Chewing Gum Remover - TEC99415 - 5.5oz Aerosol

Gum, wax, and latex paint splatters can be some of the most challenging contaminants to remove, especially when they become embedded in carpet fibers, upholstery threads, or hard-to-reach areas. Traditional cleaners often fail to lift these stubborn materials without causing damage to the surface. TEC99415 addresses this problem head-on by utilizing a fast-acting, freezing action that makes these contaminants brittle and easy to remove with minimal effort and no risk of staining or smearing.

Formulated with professional detailers in mind, this clear, low-odor aerosol spray works by instantly freezing gum, candle wax, latex paint, acrylic paint splatters, and other sticky substances. Once frozen, the hardened material becomes brittle and can be gently chipped or scraped off without damaging delicate surfaces. This makes it an ideal solution not only for automotive carpets and upholstery, but also for vinyl dashboards, plastic trim, painted panels, wood surfaces, and even household fabrics.

What sets TEC99415 apart from competing products is its extreme versatility and safety profile. It’s safe for use on nearly all interior and exterior surfaces, provided standard precautions are taken. Its forceful spray delivery ensures you can precisely target the affected area without overspray, reducing waste and improving efficiency. As a low-odor formula, it’s comfortable to work with, even in enclosed vehicle cabins or indoor spaces.

Unlike chemical solvents that risk dissolving dyes or damaging substrates, TEC99415 works mechanically by freezing the contaminant, eliminating chemical interactions with surfaces. This makes it a safer, more controlled method for removing unwanted debris. Whether you're a professional detailer working in a high-volume shop or a car owner handling an isolated incident, TEC99415 is a must-have tool in your detailing arsenal.

Step-by-Step Process for Application

1. Preparation: Shake the can lightly and ensure the surface is dry.
2. Apply the Product: Hold the can 2-4 inches away from the contaminant. Spray directly onto the gum, wax, or latex paint until it is visibly frozen solid.
3. Removal: Using a plastic scraper, spoon, or dull knife, gently chip away the hardened material.
4. Clean the Area: After removal, wipe the area with a clean microfiber towel. Follow up with a fabric cleaner or interior cleaner if necessary.
5. Inspect the Surface: Ensure no residue remains. Repeat if any stubborn spots persist.
