How are rough gems polished, what to use?!?

I would like to polish some crystals and stones but NOT TUMLBED ones. I want to keep the rough cut basically but polish them a bit. IS THERE A CERTAIN POLISH YOU BUY? Is it something you just coat the gems with? I've googled this but most of what I'm finding talks about tumbling them and polishing them in a tumbler. So I'm talking about polishing them NOT using a tumbler. Thanks.
