A big 'pink' eraser will remove most of it, then a damp paper towel to pick up what's left. "Fantastic", "Murphy's Oil Soap", or 'orange' cleaner to clean off the finger-prints. Remember to keep cleaning the eraser to prevent it from creating it's own streaks; same with folding over the paper towel.

You can avoid pencil marks by using white masking tape before you mark. Really helps tired old eyes on dark materials. Otherwise I use a sanded eraser.
A drafting eraser, a high quality white rubber made by Mars Staedtler, from a drafting supply or art store.
