Bright aluminum is light, inexpensive and clean for aluminum. Rub-off is always an issue with any uncoated aluminum. Our bright aluminum is diamond drawn to give the cleanest and brightest possible finish - but its still subject to small amounts of grey ruboff. This material can vary in shine as well.
