We actually use a torch (the trigger type). Heat guns will work as well but once you use a torch it is hard to go back. If you are looking for a cheapie...the harbor freight heat guns have worked pretty well for us in the past. I think there is a brand called steniel or something similar that makes a really good one but unless you plan on using it over again it probably would not be worth it. You probably want to purchase some stuff called 3m primer 94. It is a clear liquid that use brush along the edges (door seams, fender lips, bottom of bumper, etc.) to help the material stick. Unless you put several layers of the stuff on the car, it is invisible under the vinyl and keeps the edges down that would get bumper and come into contact with road grime and water. The primer is removeable with a citrus based degreaser when you get ready to take off the wrap.
