Reflections and poor rendering in Illustrator with 3D

When I adjust the 3D effects to be closer to what I want, the render that appears during the process with the loading bar that shows up is very close to what I want the final image to look like, but once it finishes, the final render is lower quality and has reflections around the letters and shapes that I dont want.

I have no idea what is causing this and feel like I've adjusted every setting imaginable!

Any ideas? 

Thank you!
