A wire wheel will remove paint from steel. It'll destroy wood. The
wood is softer than the paint.

Sure, you can use it to remove the paint. Just keep in mind
that it is also going to remove the wood underneath the paint.
If you hold it in one place too long, you can actually put a
hole through your siding, especially cedar. Cedar is very
soft and you will end up with a VERY uneven surface. You will
end up with "distressed wood" look.
