Well, I myself bought some furnace flashing for about 2-4 bucks. (can't remember) at a hardware store and buffed it up with some car rubbing compound and magically had polished aluminum. Works great.

car rubbing compound- can I just pick that up at Canadian Tire or something like that? Also once you buffed it up was it permanently polished(other than salt creep getting on it)?

Sounds like a good and simple idea

Thanks

marcingo,

I think mirror would be too heavy, though it certainly would be reflective. I would also be concerned about moisture and/or heat causing the reflective surface to prematurely peel away from the glass.

Scavenger,

Furnace flashing and car rubbing compound. Sounds like a project for my dear husband
