I go in :30 steps/half with about a quarter sized puddle on a corrugated foam pad and keep adding steps until it looks like I want. Compound finish I use a medium cut automotive polish such as Meguiars Medium cut and high shine I use Track Magic Shine. Compound I start with gray scotchbrite and high shine 3000 tri-zact or 4000 abralon.

Do you have a spinner or access to one or do you do it by hand?

I've heard of Black Magic; never heard of BlackMagic XL.

What kind of polish is it?
Does your can/jar look like any of these:
