put ais on it,wait for it to harden and just remove it
Rub it with ice then wire brush it. It will break into little balls. You may have to repeat.

Our kids have given me a lot of practice at this.
Peanut butter will break down the esters in the gum and it should help you clean it up. This solution works great for things that don't absorb the grease - no grease stain. (If you get gum in your hair it works great too)
There is a product called cold freeze that comes in a can. It's cold pressurized air that turns whatever the substance is into something that will allow you to get the gum up. I forgot what its called though. I did, however, buy mine at the local drug-store near my home. So maybe you could check there?
Ice and a putty knife are the best bet.
Putty knive and peanut butter.
goo gone works very well to remove any sticky thing off most anything. You can find it a Wal-Mart.
