Tires - Heat Gun or Grinding Wheel? Both?

What's the advantages or disadvantages? Obviously the heat gun cleans the tires off...but does it put another heat cycle in them as well? What about grinding? I saw that done at the indoor shows and then yesterday saw go karts use the grinder as well. Thoughts?

I generally used a heat scraper to get off built up rubber and the grinder to scuff new tires. After they have been raced, the grinder seems to just smear the rubber around and I prefer to remove the built up rubber.

When grinding, what do you use? Flap disk? with what grit?

scuffing new tires I use the flap disk with fine to medium, nothing to rough.
