Last time I don't it with a heat gun it went like tar and just looked terrible after, just didn't know if there was a way to get it off the boot cleanly?

Heat gun and an old sharp paint/wallpaper scraper to get it up . Then I used brake and clutch cleaner and old rags to get the residue up !! Just remember brake and clutch cleaner is very flammable and don't set the footwell on fire like I did

Unless you know what you doing- I do not recommend dry ice. It will burn you and cause you to pass out if used in enclosed areas!
