Alltec's gum remover, straight acetone and a Movac (i.e. car bodywork supplies) product called "gunwash" for cleaning up spray guns, which is excellent.

I'm using one I can't mention. It will be available from a major manufacturer next year but it is very good!
Other than that just POG.

To the people using POG, don't you find you get negative comments from customers? The bloody thing stinks, its a very strong chemically smell.
I recently bought a couple of bottles and now I remember why I stopped using it ages ago.

For chewing gum, blue tac and all that annoying sticky stuff you cant beat Resolvit gel from Solutions, although its bloody expensive at £18 a litre.

A really good paint remover is pvc pipe cleaner, the clear liquid one.

Solvents are specific use products and I would suggest you so some training to gain some kind of understanding of how they work. There is not one solvent that will solve all of your problems.

I've got loads of Amtech stuff called 'ZAP it' (rather than Zip). Did they just change the name?
Must be old - cant find it anywhere.

Is the new Chemspec stuff still a volotile solvent? If it is it needs rinsing otherwise can leave quite a bad residue
