Gross... With gum, you can harden it with a cube of ice and then scrape it off... with what is left you can use a cleaner like resolve. I would think this would work with gummy bears too. I have also heard of using WD-40 or anything oil based (baby oil, lotions, even cooking oils or sprays). Also, products such as Goo Gone are good.

Try to get it as cold and hard as possible and peel as much as possible with a putty knife or similar.Then what it don't get use a bristle brush like that you use to clean rims and tires.The ones with the ruff almost steel like hairs are the best.Use it to scrape back and forth with pressure applied little by little till the there is nothing but a stain showing.Then from their I recommend getting the spot steam cleaned.It worked like a charm in my wifes old Camaro she used to have.Same thing happen but it was the jelly worms lol.Plus her seats needed cleaning anyway and the steam made them look like new.

Light it on fire... it won't help get it off the seat but it would look DAMN cool. Just make sure you take the seat out first. Hehe :firedevil

I've always heard you can use dry ice to get stuff like this out of upholstery.

It may have to come off the same way it went on... melting. A hair dryer might work, the bears should melt before the seat cover. It iwll be easier if your seats are leather than if they are cloth. I'm sure your girlfriend has offered to help clean it up, right?
