Thanks mate. I haven't tried the Mr Hobby or Tamiya stuff other than the old discontinued one step polish. I've heard that the new Tamiya Finish compound is good but pricey. I do like the Finishers stuff though. I've used it for this.
The alcohol is ordinary 99% isopropyl I found at a hardware store.

So you're saying my pics are crap? lol
I can't get rid of that grain that appears on metallic paints but you don't really see in person.
