XMT on the other hand is really good with the PC, brakes down within 5 to 6 minuits.

Well that's just my opinion.
5-6 min?! That seems like a long time, I get my optimum polishes to breakdown in 3-4 min per panel. I go (on a vertical panel) 1/2" per second, on speed 6, with some good pressure. First pass, up and down with 50% overlapping passes, then left to right for second pass, same speed 6, same hard pressure, then I lightly burnish the vertical surface up and down, speed 6, 1-2" per second. Done. Only 3 passes basically.
