Well that is an event of biblical proportions.

You could try freezing the gum by placing an ice cube on top of it to harden it, then very gently prying it off the paintwork. I've also read that peanut butter (and no, I don't know if smooth or crunchy is best) works for chewing gum removal on a variety of surfaces.
If you did post it your gum dilemma up in the detailing section I could guarantee that a) and b ) won't happen, but c) will.
So on that note - tar and glue remover e.g. Tardis, ObliTARate, will bring it off with ease, as well as sorting our your other tar spots.
Why thank you madamoiselle Boothette, i knew I could rely on you.
The forum fairy god mother to the rescue as always!
Funnily enough I was looking at said tar earlier with mitt in hand thinking "Tardis"
You've brainwashed me.
