I have been seeing this a lot on the internet lately when looking at automotive photo shoots. Not as much here as other places. The issue is BLUE. Blue glass, Blue smoke, Blue Chrome, etc. One of the reasons for this is people cranking up the contrast while editing. STOP IT. Take a moment to make your photo look the best. I learned a while back because I was guilty too. We all want that bright blue sky, but there are other ways.
First off...warm up the temp a touch AFTER you edit everything else. I go through and edit the photo and then just touch the temp to get the blue out of the chrome and glass. Second trick, desaturate the blue, yes you can still have a blue sky too. Desat the blue and then adjust the illumination of the blue.
There are work arounds to make sure the glass and chrome aren't blue. Take your time and fix it and your photo will be 100x better!!
