Eraser wheels work great but not the best application to remove large decals. I'd still have one to do the job though.
What is the surface?
Some powder coat likeon aluminum panels doesn't take kindly to the heat of an eraser wheel or string solvents. Also tougher to scrape with a razor blade.
If you have fiberglass/ gelcoat then it's very durable. Eraser wheel is great but watch the heat it will yellow the gel pretty quick if not careful.
I'd heat, hair dryer if you don't know what you're doing quite yet. Heat gun or even torch if you're good at it. Easier to scorch with them but quicker.
Then scrape or peel with a single edge razor.
Remove glue etc with lacquer thinner, acetone, adhesive remoever etc.
then polish out.
As always test your methods ina. Small inconspicuous spot first.
