Absolutely start with the greaseless compounds. You will need one wheel per each greaseless/buffing compound you use. You will not wear out any of your wheels while buffing that part, they last quite a long time. I would start right at 80grit.
I would do the following:
80grit - spiral sewn
180grit - spiral sewn
240grit - spiral sewn
(Caswell offers a new compound called super sisal compound. I haven't tried this but they say it is more abrasive than the emery. I would think that this compound would be best to use after 240, because it does take quite a bit of time with the emery after 240) - sisal
Emery - sisal
Tripoli - spiral sewn
White - spiral or loose sewn
