one of the best things you can do to get the uber reflective sweetness of the shiney metal is set your glossiness to about 97%-100% and your ambient colour up from 0 depenting on how bright you want it.  then down in the reflection section set your reflection strenght to an area of about 75%-100% with a white colour ( 255 for all three or with a bit of a hue towards the colour you want reflected) then set your lighting model to glossy plastic i know glossy metallic sounds more like how it should be but you get the sweet sharp gleam from glossy plastic.

 

this is all in the advanced surfaces tab of course in any of the versions of daz
