Gum on leather question

What would get gum off of a leather seat thats been there awhile without damaging the leather?

Freeze it. Compressed air from a computer shop or place an ice cube on the gum; the resin (sticky stuff-the tech terminology

) will then release its adhesion

Thanks guys.I did a basic wash on my first black car yesterday .A nissan altima.(I HATE BLACK)It showed every little nick and swirl.It had plenty of those.It needed a paint cleaning bad.

Anyway,I get to the inside and there is gum stuck to the backseat,I used one of my cleaners,and it got most off.I didn`t want to continue rubbing and picking,fraid I might do damage to the leather ,but I told him I would get the rest off someway when I come back next week to do his truck.
Which he was very happy I got what I did off.It was there when they bought the car from a dealer.Apparently the dealer didn`t even try to ge it off.

Should I tell him that this is special ice?
