A: Two main categories:
High-Gloss Mirror: Highest reflectivity, clear imaging like glass mirror, Gloss Units (GU) typically >90. Creates a strong, modern, dazzling effect.
Matte/Brushed Mirror: After polishing, a special process (e.g., hairline brushing) creates a diffuse reflective surface. It still has mirror-like properties, but with softer, non-glare imaging, hiding fine scratches and offering more texture.
