        Hi, Laura:
        Your question suggests that you need a Rendering Application for shiny reflective surfaces. Sketchup is a modeling program. It uses one camera, and one light source- the sun, for shadows.
        You can apply a picture of a shiny reflective surface to the Sketchup model as a texture, and for a fixed scene.

        I take the slow, deliberate approach in my aimless wandering.
