For my decals (on filon) I used a razor in a blade holder. I scraped about 1/4 to 1/2" of the stripe at a time. Dont try to remove the whole width of the blade at once, it will cause it to bite into the surface. A heat gun may help soften the vinyl, but I found it wasnt necessary. Then the best for removing the remaining glue was xylene.
I have a c class and did use a rubber wheel on the painted cab surface, but it is more of a PIA. It was messy and time consuming. It did work on the softer paint, but I cant imagine doing a whole rig with one - or several wheels. I still used the xylene to clean up the residue.
