I think that diamond lapping fluid works quite well, but not as well as glass cleaner from the Dollar store or the Pound stretcher. a Dollar or a Pound, what’s the difference? About 52 cents. Lapping fluid was supposedly designed for use with diamonds, but I think that’s about the same as snake oil in cowboy country in the 1800’s. At $10 a pop for a little squirt bottle I think even the most refined of diamonds can live just fine with ordinary common glass cleaner. Also, remember that diamond lapping fluids produced by some sales outfits are petrochemical based. Not good for the hands or internal organs.
