What's the best tools to safely and effectively removing the old gel?

The last one I did using an 8" grinder turning 1800 rpm with a 40 grit
sanding disc! Be careful to stop just short of hitting any glass, then
finish up with 60 Grit and a small 6"hand disk grinder.
Does that answer your question?
