I have an assortment of scrapers of various width. A couple made from old screwdrivers. The best tip shape I have found is not a wedge to a point, but a truncated wedge to a .020-.040" blunt end. The square edge seems to do the scraping function well w/o lifting or digging. I keep them that way with a file.
Razors and/or sharp edges seem to dig into a soft material like aluminum. Not good.
Being a mechanic is hard work, I never found a magic potion for much of it, but a 2" red scotch brite disc is pretty close.
