Ive dont it with a PC. You still have to wipe with a MF towel to get where the pad doesnt. It works the products and not just removes them.
 
If you really want to use the PC for product removal, use it with a MF placed on the paint or on a pad, set the PC speed at 2 and have at it.
The pad grabs the MF enough that it removes product, but it isn't a problem to control. Just be sure you keep the pad in contact with the MF or it will end up on the ground/floor.
I heard about this on another site and tried it a few times. It works OK, but didn't really seem to be worth bothering with. The products I use wipe off so easily that I do it by hand.

I've always removed product by hand. Like Charles said, everything I use is easy to wipe off. If it's too difficult, it's probably because I applied it to thick.
 
I've tried both and suggest that you don't. The best way to remove any product IMO is with a MF by hand. When using a pad on the PC with either a terry towel or mf you are going to cause more harm than good. The pads are only so big and the product has no where to go, so you get lots of build up. They have the mf bonnets that you can use, then turn over, but from my experience they are to thin and your lucky to get half the car done with both sides. Like all the others have said it's much easier to remove by hand with a quality mf.
 
I do use the PC for removal but it's done with a wool pad for backing and a MF bonnet stretched over it. I've found it to work very well.
 
I have my old Craftsman that I use to remove the polish/wax etc. I put a polishing pad on the old buffer and then put a MF bonnet over it and it leaves a better shine compared to doing it by hand but I still have to go over it by hand on the hard to reach places. I've never used the PC to remove it.
 
Newer wax/sealants are much different then the products of the old meaning they wipe right off with no effort at all. I remember as a kid the neighbor paid me $5.00 to wax her camero and supplied me with some Turtle Wax buy the time i finished i though my arms would fall off. I swear until this day i remember this every time i hear or see the word TW. A good MF and or a spritz from a QD and your good to go.
