I have also used goo-gone outdoors and found a slight but very defined
paling of paint color weeks later, perhaps from exposure of residual cleaner
to UV light. As a mother at home, though, I have used ice cubes and they
worked just fine as the gum residue lost sticking strength when it cooled
rock hard. Correction, my son held the ice cube, which also felt good on his
behind when I got through with him. Relax, that was decades ago and he
turned out fine (but does not chew gum I've noticed).

I've used Goo-Gone (generally used to remove the sticky residue of price
stickers) to getchewing gum off the painted Rankin House porch floor.
