Default plastic mirror vs. glass

making a small box and while looking for a suitalbe piece of mirror
i found that there are stick on plastic mirrors

does anyone know how good they are at reflecting clearly

concerned that it may not be as clear as a glass mirror

I have plastic mirrors in both our showers. They are about 5 x 7,
enough to shave by. They are very adequate, about 95% as good as glass.

In addition to not being as reflective as a glass mirror, plastic
scratches easily, making it even a worse choice over time. Other
considerations can trump this problem, obviously.
