use PC to apply and/or remove Epic?

Hi,
I haven't bought a PC yet for my new Mini, and don't think I need to de-swirl already. But I do want to get a coat of Epic on soon for protection. I was thinking of picking up OctaneGuy's new car bundle. Seems like I read somewhere here that folks also use a PC to apply/remove Epic? Is it a big time & labor saver for just that? If so, I might go ahead and get one now (along with the PC DVD, so I can learn how to use it).

I'm hoping Epic is easier than Zaino, which I tried a couple of times. I did get good results with Zaino, but it was exhausting (after the pre-wash, claying, post-claying wash, ...). It seems like the 'use barely any' advice applies to Epic too. I recall finding it tedious with Zaino to determine if I was actually putting anything on the paint, yet not err on the side of putting on too much. Seemed like no matter how hard I tried, I always had to mix up more Zaino than the instructions said I should need.

Thanks for any advice,
Pasta
