chrome not so bright of the aluminium finish…50% down
I will then try to polish.

jonnyc to here very expensieve cost to send :-s
If there's a protective coating over the aluminum coating, it's probably SiO or hexamethyldisiloxane. I'm not going to destroy one of my HD2010 reflectors to find out who's right and wrong about a smoothing or protective coating, although I might have another reflector I could sacrifice...
Polishing is all you can do. Good luck.
If you decide to get it plated then get it bright nickel plated, chrome is no good, experience in restoring 1930’s cars and 40’s and 50 motorcycles. The platers that we used did a lot of headlamp reflectors and he reckoned that chrome doesn’t reflect enough light to be of use. He always stopped at the nickel step (copper, nickel,chrome is triple plating, the best but not for reflectors) then polished to a high shine, worked like a charm.
maybe one sst90 reflector with kopple ours work :Sp
well …. a lot of sanding and the result is remarkable!
net platinum
but when the flashlight shines it is just a reflector which is very poorly cleaned, filled with scratches and a yellow sheen.
suggestions how I can do yet? finish better
but the flashlight is usable again.
it shines like a mirror … but if you put it in your flashlight you do still see that matte deep low and very small scratches.
Whatever you even used medi cal cotton (100% cotton) remaining scratches.
the last is the modern cloth where you can join the best yet. PC screen
This combined with soft wet wipes for glasses.
are there any tips?
I haven't tried to polish metal yet. Here is some info from one of the best. I don't know if it's his current method or if he would use it to polish a reflector.
Here is a recent thread from a very talented member that built an aluminum reflector from scratch.
Best of luck. Hopefully, someone that knows more chimes in soon. I find posting pictures usually gets more member participation.
I have polished up a few aluminum reflectors with 1000 grit wet/dry paper, then move on to 000 steel wool,0000 stell wool, then finish with mothers aluminum polish (awesome stuff). Then I seal with some liquid car polish. Been about 6 months and they are looking good still, but a quick re polish doesnt hurt. Ask me why I had to do this in the first place. Other than wanting to smooth an op reflector, I learned the hard way.
I spent quite some time contacting vendors for spare HD2010 reflectors and have not been successful… 
Buy a new one they’re only 30-50 bucks.
one 2010 if i can’t buy reflectors.
see out for another long range trow
with diy for juwels i see i can make the reflector bether finish…but i have spend today more than 20€ for produkts
for the end finish :for a clear reflector and scrash remove silicone spray or better tefflon spray works great!
