Hello Victor,
I use 1 micron diamond suspension (for a "final touch") and it has always worked for me.

Subject: [TN] Lead Free, Ball Grid Array, solder bump cross section
Fellow TechNetters:
I have conducted many of LF solder bump cross section and final
polish is conducted with a Buehler Masterprep
Polishing Suspension Alumina 0.05 microns. Micro craves, epoxy
shrinkage/voids, on the sample surface retain
the polishing compound which contaminate the surface appearance. This
step can cause staining and/or water
marks on the bulb solder prior to mid range magnification examination
with inverted stage microscope.
Can some one recommend a LF chemical etchant that I can replace the
alumina step in my process?
Victor,
