We used a surform scraper during the cadet days and found it hard work but more effective that heat gun. It doesnt put extra heat into the tyres. We also created a power tool to spin the front wheels which worked really well (but health and safety would have had a fit!).
Plus this options also gave wet tyres new life.
As the driver gets the lines right you will find them collect less rubber in general.
