Default Reflector material

No, Aluminum cannot be pollished to a mirror because it has a large particle size which makes it hard to get a smoth surface(if you waist your time tring it will soon dull from the oxadation again anyways) Spectral aluminum is coated with a film of something that will take the pollish and keep it. this is why AHsupply uses it and also spider lights are made of it.. the spider lights aare made from "everbright" which is a brand name of spectral aluminum.
