Is there any way to make the paint on objects, mainly cars, look shiny? And the chrome? Any help would be much appreciated.

How can I see the car? When I click on something I get taken to a page in a foreign language.

Yeah, I'm one of those "noobies", and I'm having some problems applying materials to my objects. I can apply them ok, but when I try to apply a different material to some of the surfaces, as soon as I select the new material, all of the surfaces I've already done change to the new material. I've downloaded and looked through the Sketchup manual, searched all over the internet, but have not found the solution. Also, is it possible to go back later and remove the material from a surface? When I try to do that, it simply deletes the surface, not just the material. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
