A chewing gum on the seat...
The heaven come down suddenly...
Oh my god...
I don't know what to do...
I tried with ice... but nothing...

Any suggestion?

Try GooGone; wipe up the residue with damp rag, and then apply a leather conditioner to the just cleaned area.

GooGone may or may not be safe for the leather.

Should work well, altohugh don't saturate the area, and make sure to clean the area WELL w/ leather cleaner and conditioner after.

if it's "perforated" (with tiny pin holes) then : Leather
All else : Pleather (Plastic synthetic leather)

usually you can find stuff that removes gum in hardware stores, it's in a can and it freezes whatever it touches... sorta like liquid nitrogen but not really... and then just scrape it off and it breaks up into little pieces...

I got a can of this degreaser type of stuff from honda. I don't know if it would be safe on the leather. but man it will take anything off of the paint. I had some road tar that just wouldn't come off. I used this stuff and it came off like water. it's very good at breaking down anything that is sticky.

If your gf looks like Monica Bellucci, you should ask her to clean it for you and let her know she's been a naughty girl.

That's one of the seat options for the European Accord. Australia had a limited model run with those seats for 1/2 a year as well.
