I have both a random orbital buffer and a rotory buffer. I like the random for applying glaze and wax, but like the rotory variable speed buffer to polish out swirl marks and buffing using sheepwool pads or foampads.
The XMT products are probably pretty good. They probably compare to Mequiars and 3M type products.
Hope this helps!
