Hi I need a new quality of my renders so I am lerning Mental Ray harder then ever. I do not eat, sleep ... just testing and testing new algoritms and methods. Here are some of my results...
... at first after modeling as always bloody fight with meshsmooth witch I newer fully understend.
I need some help with this !
Smooth was not enough. Meshsmooth it to much. Is there any other way ?
What about soft selection ?

[damusTo]

Then i was loocking 4 some material inspirations.
Here are some screens witch I took.

[damusTo]

Please wait - new renders are in progress ....

...zZz...

I trayed everything Smooth, Meshsmooth, Soft Selection
Here are results, and its still not right.
HELP ME !

[damusTo]

and the soft selection, no result at all.

did you apply mesh-smooth to the triangle mesh? if so, that's probly why you're reflections got worse. always apply mesh-smooth to quads, and have as few triangles as possible.

[ray veto]

remove the triangles and chamfer some parts of your mesh. then apply mesh smooth and everything will be fine.

[wdcstudios]

like someone else said less triagles will work better with mesh smooth and you can change the crease value on your edges for all of your sharp edges

[damusTo]

ok I will, Thanks :]

greate looking interior,
maybe some objects could have more polygons
and for the red material, add some bump to it

[amish_rabbi]

if you put a mesh smooth on it then try and get rid of all things not 4 sides, triangles are ok but not prefered
5 sides is a no no

other than that im amazed at the detail in the car
