I have a General Electric Carbon-Arc searchlight and the reflector dish is Rhodium plated. There are a few spatter spots from burning carbon rods and I have looked into getting it re-plated, but apparently Rhodium is a rare metal these days worth about 5 times the price of gold.

I found that Auto-Sol aluminium polish does a good job in the meantime to bring up a brilliant reflective surface.
