That's a nice looking job 4seasonphoto. Thank you for posting it.
The ChipQuik is a bit of overkill for capacitors, but it will make them easier to remove using just one soldering pencil. However, using two pencils is faster, about as easy and requires less cleanup.
Solder mixed with the Chipquik alloy is a little difficult to clean up. Make sure you have a supply of solder flux on hand. Using plenty of flux is key to getting that stuff off of your circuit board.
Keep in mind that if you use much of it, you can kind of roll it (some of it anyway) over onto the solder mask and collect it after it hardens. Then you can reuse it, if you don't mind keeping little bits of moderately toxic metal around.
The place where I find ChipQuik useful is in desoldering surface mount chips. When you mix it into the existing solder, it does lower the melting point. This makes it possible to either remove the chip with less time under the hot air, or, if you form a bead of ChipQuik across all the pins, you can often take a medium sized SM chip off with just a 45 watt soldering pencil applied to the bead and moved around a bit. Smaller SM chips (8 - 16 pin SOIC, e.g.) only require a 15 watt soldering pencil with ChipQuik.
