Default removing body filler

whats the best way to remove body filler? I was going to buy some wire wheels, but thought I would ask the experts before i spend my money.

I use 24 grit grinding disc for that task. Like the ones in the link. Rips the filler off in no time. You'll need a grinder/buffer and backing pad.

A air hammer, or I call them a muffler gun.

Just throttle down the air pressure a little bit.

I know I was thinking that it would dent the metal, but it won't, just go easy and it will vibrate the bondo right off.
