Thanks to a friend I have some nice sized samples of actual 'greaseless' and the glue to try before buying. However I had previously ordered what I 'knew' were 'polishing compounds' and not greaseless 'abrasives'.

Caswell offers a 'group' of the larger bars of what I believe are the same polishing compounds but at another site I found 'thumb sized samples' for a very reasonable price.

Here's Caswell's offer:

Jumbo Buffing Compound Starter Pack - Standard Buffing Compounds - Buffing/Polishing - Caswell Inc

Here's what I purchased so I could 'Play' and see how it all went:

Junior 6 pc. Jewelers Rouge & Polishing Compound Kit

Even with shipping I found it economical to use the samples to play with and very informative about what they will and won't do.

I do hope this is of some help/if not to you but to others looking to use other materials to accomplish their goals.
