That's some very aggressive stuff you got there.
1. Medium cut rubbing compound is like fine sandpaper. Not for use on paint, unless you know what you're doing.
2. 10" orbitals are usually packed with a cotton terry cloth bonnet, which they never tell you is abrasive to paint...again, like sandpaper.
3. White patches could be anything, from left over product, to areas where you've already removed the clearcoat and/or paint. If you have done irreversible damage to the paint, you'll have to repaint it.
Frankly, there is no way for us to tell what's going on here. Sorry, I'd love to help, but with the vague information supplied, my best advice is to take it to a professional detailer.

Just keep doing what you doing, eventually it will be very shiny.
Just make sure you have some metal polish ready for after you remove all the paint. Those patches of white spots could be primer after you burned throught the paint. Why did you do this?
