brushed means it looks like they took a brush over it before it dried, so there are lines, polished is probably straight up shiny smooth surface

brushed aluminum you can see the brush marks; polished is very shiny- will be almost like the finish of your pony emblem between the hood and bumper. i've attached a pic of a polished grill (as i said, you can see that it pretty much matches the pony finish) for myself, i prefer polished over brushed, b/c it shines up nicer...but that's just me.

go with the polished...you'll be happier with the look (the only downside is that when it gets dirty you can tell easier)
