Default Aluminum countertop

Yeah -- a kitchen countertop but it doesn't sound like a good idea.



On one Army base the kitchen sink counter was galvanized steel. The
zinc had long since worn away, but Army coffee removed the rust that
formed during cleanup. If I quickly wiped it dry it stayed shiny until
the next meal.

Temporarily cover your existing counter with a sheet of aluminum and
see how it wears. I have a stainless plate on the counter for hot
pots. The finish has become random fine scratches.
