Highly polished metal was used for mirrors before switching to glass. While it will reflect, the metal needs to be kept polished or the reflection will dull.

Why can you see your reflection on a shiny surface?
Sometimes, water can act as a mirror. The light that the sun gives off has bounced off of you into the water. When the light reaches the surface of the water, it can do two things. Firstly, it can be refracted underneath the surface. Secondly, it can be reflected back at you and into your eye. Usually, both occurs, although whether enough reflection occurs to make you see your reflection or not depends on several factors. Your eye does something similar. It picks up the light from the sun that has bounced off of objects and creates a picture out of it. While the water acts like a mirror and your eye acts like a lens, the concept is very similar.

What is the terrain on the planet Jupiter?
Jupiter, in fact, has NO surface at all. Because Jupiter i s a gas giant, it is composed mostly of hydrogen gas. This gas gives the planet no real surface, however, some scientists theorize that the incredible pressure towards the core compresses the hydrogen into a metallic liquid, making the surface of Jupiter a massive, planet-covering ocean.
