I almost always go over everything I paint with a wide fan brush to get rid of any ridges. If the paint is not too thick you can do this without losing any of the "brushstroke look" that you want to keep, but just getting rid of the ridges.

I go in an up and down direction on the final pass with the fan brush, so all the glare will be consistent across the whole surface of the painting too.
