2) Mirror Finish.... A very subjective term. If I can see my face in it, its a mirror, right? Like a computer screen measuring HiDef, there are levels.
Myself, I am against total mirror. Every single scratch and flaw that happens will show up, and over time that make it look like crap (IMHO) I like a much more natural Bright Satin, or "almost" mirror.
