I use the "machine" when buffing with plastX. Works swell.
Not to say it's any better than XMT3 since I've never used that product before, but plastX with the buffer works good.

Badd attempt at a joke.
In reality, candle wax would probably be better than Meguires.

Bad joke, meh. Comparable to your bad comparison of product usage and equally bad spelling abilities.

Re: the right way to clear out dull civic headlights (CivicSD)
nice rims.... 
Why not sand them down with 800 grit, cut them, then polish them?
