How can I get a mirror finish on aluminum sheet?

I have a thick piece of aluminum and it is really dullI want to make it into a mirror almost! How can I do that using mainly sandpapers? Can I do it at all? I heard using sandpaper in the order of like 200 600 1000 2000 grit works, is that true?

Answer:

ground I replace some of the flour with it, or just add as an optional ingredient like you would nuts or raisinsBecause of the oil in flax seed, it really doesn't seem to affect the liquid/dry ratio muchI get a really moist muffin when throw in some flax seed, as well as yummyI've been known to put as much as 1/2 cup of flax seed in a bread or muffin recipe without adjusting other ingredientsEDIT: Just read the other answersGotta try that egg replacement trick for when the chickens aren't laying so wellThanks!
