reflection noise

V-Ray V-Ray for Maya General

I have a 3d product which I am rendering, the inner lid has a mirror on it. in the mirror it reflects the other side of the product . It is giving me 2 issues , 1 , the reflection of the object in the mirror surface is a different colour & 2, it is very noisy , this is because the reflected surface has a slight glossy reflection.
Uping samples doesnt seem to help either & isnt really viable as it makes render times gigantic.

any ideas?

thanks

you tried turning down your dmc noise threshold? try changing from 0.01 down to 0.005

yeah. it seems , if i change the reflection type on the object being reflected into the mirror from ward to blinn & lower the ref amount it looks loads better.

Adjust reflections samples from 8 to 32 in shader.
