I noticed that in the radiosity code you're using option 1 for the color
library.  You could try option 2 which is Todd's LUGNET color includes

You might consider using shadowless lights

Since you using the radiosity include, setting the quality to 1 won't remove the
reflections since both color library option 1 and option 2 override this.  You
can, however, set the idex of refraction lower.  The lower the value for this
number, the less shiny you brick will render.
