The polished aluminum finish has a mirror-like luster. The lightweight metal is easy to handle and is a great value particularly for churches with limited budgets. Please note that the polished aluminum may dent more easily than other metals, so handle with care to ensure longevity. It will require occasional polishing with chrome and aluminum polish. To clean, wipe with a soft cloth or hand wash in lukewarm water and dry immediately. Never clean in a dishwasher and never use abrasive cleaners.
