  Ed,
Another  good cleaner is baking soda. A paste made with it can serve as
a cleaner/polisher for those super fine cleaning and polishing
jobs.Fossil preparers and Palentologists often use baking soda in small
air tools similar to air brushes to remove just the tiniest bit of
surface material - which is what all grits do. It works.

BTW - toothpaste applied on the  end of a rubber power eraser can be
used to grind a hole in glass, should you ever have the need to do so.
