I have done removal with a cobra purple towel and with PC w a mf bonnet over a lambs pad. I would have to say that it was easier with hand.

ARe there any advantages to doing it w a machine?

lol... I could take this way off topic, but I'm gonna leave this stone alone.
I prefer wax removal by hand as well.
 
machine is overkill, no addtl benefit in my eyes.
 
I always take wax off my hand. Most of the good waxes on the market come off very easy these days.

By hand--seems like the bonnets gum up. I would have thought that a PC would put a high gloss shine like a shoe polisher, but that does not seem to be the case.
 
I read that using the bonnet is good, but just like using a MF cloth, you need to constantly turn it. You would probably need to flip the bonnet inside-out and use 2 bonnets to remove the wax thoroughly and prevent the buildup of wax on the bonnet.

I've used the bonnet and it removes pretty fast, but did notice the buildup after doing the hood. Ended up using the MF by hand fo rthe rest of the car.
 
When removing by hand, is it necessary to shake the microfiber while you're buffing off wax residue?

Yeah I would use a machine if I thought it would save time or make it look better but I don't think it does either IMO....
 
By hand using a Meguiar's yellow foam applicator and a soft MF
