They can be mirror smooth, but every person I have met who polished their cars have said "Never again". LOTS of work.
Man, where do some of you people get your information???

Kirkhams don't "come" file finish. You can order a car in file finish if you want to save some initial dough, but most KMPs are sold in brushed, which is a finished body. You can then polish the brushed body if you like.
