You might try the 3-2-1 style Finish like I show on that Shapton Vid you might also try a light slurry dilution into the finish, these are things you are going to have to mess with as you adjust your honing to your face on a new system of hones... Yes a good quality CrOx or even better a high quality CeOx might very well smooth it right up..
But you are getting closer and that is a step in the right direction :tu
