I do realize that a lot of the times c&b pictures look better than the actual results. At the same time, many times the results don't present themselves as well in pictures as in person. |
Silver is most definitely one of the most difficult colors to photography. It is so reflective that it is very difficult to not get major blown out highlights.
Here is a C&B thread on my Arctic Silver Lotus below. As stated in the first post, I was not real happy with the first overall shots of the car because of the lighting, and mention how difficult Silver is to photograph (note the blown out highlights in several of the pictures):

And yes, removing all swirls from a Silver car makes a noticeable difference. Frankly, even if I am the only person in the world who would notice the swirls, it would drive me insane knowing that they were there.
