I mix all my buffing abrasives in beeswax. I only do that because I use several different kinds of pigmented abrasives for burnishing wood finishes. I am sure you could use any type of wax that is more cost effective or you can buy the CrO buffing compounds that are already prepared. The idea is that the buffing wheel melts the wax and that is how they are charged. Easy to make and easier to buy.

McMaster Carr in Chicago, IL sells greaseless.
McMaster-Carr
It is not listed as "Greaseless Buffing Compound" but rather as "Satin-Finish Buffing Compound". When you actually get it, the tube does say Greaseless Buffing Compound. It is made by a company called Kocour and the tubes weigh about 2.75 lbs. each. One drawback is that McMaster does not have a 600 grit. That you'll have to get elsewhere.
Best,
Mark
