Default OSH ...aluminum needs polishing. HELP!!

I guess my memory of thermodynamics isn't what it never was. Isn't a
perfectly reflecting surface much better than one that doesn't reflect the
energy? Like why snow doesn't melt very fast except when the bare ground
shows through and then all of a sudden the snow is gone.

Something about albedo, as I vaguely remember.

What are the wings bonded with? Will they safely withstand the
internal temperatures they'll see in bare aluminum finish?

Thanks, Bob K.
