Ron: I have been using one for a few years and I believe it should be a required piece of equipment prior to any polishing.

It's a bit tedious but it beats the heck out of burning through and generally, once you measure at a given spot, the thickness is pretty uniform for the larger area around it so you don't have to measure every five minutes.

What I don't know for a fact is the depth of the primer, base coat, and clear but I've found estimates on the Web so, be careful. Don't take more off than you need to get the gloss you desire.

I can HIGHLY recommend Sonax Final Finish and a fine or ultra-fine pad.
