Well...sort of. If a buffer is used, (usually for waxing cars, or trying to buff out light body scratches) the buffer heats up with it spinning, causing the surface to sort of meld or heat up just enough to remove oxidation, and yes it can take out small scratches if you're lucky..But yes the buffer spins and while on your car, it is actually heating that particular area up just enough, as the buffer moves across the area or to a different area the previous area cools down, usually within seconds..Basically, what i'm saying is, that your X can withstand direct contact with heat or hot objects and withstand it..unless of course you take a blow torch to it, or an open flame obviously...

Now of course, if someone buffs your car, you want to make sure the guy knows what he's doing otherwise it can screw up your clearcoat and paint forever..Swirl marks are a common sign of this, and on Black cars, buffing is much harder to do, because the swirl marks show so well in sunlight.. The more you buff, the less actually you have to work with time after time...So buffing isn't something that one should do regularly..its more of a once or twice kind of thing and then you shouldn't do it anymore.. Hope this helps.
