    I'm a Lapis nut myself- love the stuff. 

    I go diamond all the way up to 100,000 diamond grit, and use a 3M
    cerium oxide belt (white belt) or pad after the 3,000 Nova wheel.
    After the cerium oxide I use 4" muslim buffs (blue, stitched) charged
    with 50,000 and 100,000 grit diamond. Wash w/soapy water and rinse
    between the 50,000 and 100,000 grits though. Works wonders, no wax
    necessary. Does wonders for grade "B" and "Denim" Lapis too.
