Default polishing glass

I am a kiln-fired glass artist. When I fire glass in a mold, the surface touching the mold surface is matte-to-rough, which I want to polish to a shine. I am totally new to buffing and polishing, but think this may be the solution to my problem. What I need to know is what compounds would be best to use on glass to (1) remove the rough surface, and (2) buff the glass to a high shine. Also, I have a bench grinder - can it be used for this process, with the right wheels and compounds? Thanks for helping a newbie!
