unfortunately the product in not 100 percent mirror reflective, and my report is that its not as good as the stainless option when applied.

the film is very easy to cut, very easy to place on the machine, very easy to adjust etc etc, BUT the film when placed on its side is not 100 percent mirror finish, but more like 70 to 80 percent mirror finish. So the results are a little hubble telescope in that the film is very reflective, but not 100 percent mirror reflective, and the reflection is like its out of focus by 20 percent. With a whack of machines, would I use it, YES, because I dont want to pay out 35 or 40 times $100 or $50 each set for stainless blades.

Would i use the film I have purchased, and turn standard black boring side walls into a bright shiny silver reflective surface to lift the overall lighting up by 70 percent, YES. But when the product is placed on its side, and the light waves hit it, its only 70 to 80 percent mirror like in its reflections. Laying flat u think its the go, but on its side, things change with the angles.

SORRY GUYS, but it just doesnt come up to scratch when comparing stainless mirror blades side by side for those wanting TRUE mirror image etc.
I will still use the stuff I have, but will pick n chose which machines I use or dont use it on etc.

My next step is to now go back to the stainless steel supplier with the laser cutter etc, and get some prices rechecked for a bulk buy of mirror blades in stainless.
This is a must to overcome the very expensive prices currently being charged.  The film works, but not as good as the stainless I have to declare.  

**Perhaps the mistake I made was to buy Chrome mirror film instead of a literal mirror film. Anyone got any leads on mirror film that is not chrome, cause I think the chrome version loses 20 percent of the reflective properties making it less than mirror finish which seems to be 100 percent reflective like stainless  !@#  maybe we are on the right track with cut, peel n stick, but need a slightly more sharper product > ?  !@#
