mirror-like
Smooth and shiny
Mirror-like describes a surface so smooth and reflective it resembles a mirror: The lake was mirror-like at dawn.
The term applies to anything with high reflectivity or perfect smoothness—polished metal, still water, glossy finishes.
Figuratively, it can describe exact replication: a mirror-like imitation of his father's gestures.
