Vivian Meazza added a Reflection Shader. This gives us now shiny surfaces on any objects. So you can now have shiny blank metals; or a shiny coating like we can see on cars and modern aircrafts or shiny windows, which even shows a nice rainbow effect.(like the  Airbus shows). This effects are completly configurable and can be controlled in many ways.
