Hello, so I am relatively new to Blender, I watched a tutorial online on how to do a simple single car render and I've been working with that knowledge ever since. Today I decided I'd try and do a two car render, which didn't seem to be much more difficult than a single car render. So I duplicate and rotate the car, add some lighting to the car and this is the result...

There seems to be extra shade around the side window of the car only on the right side of the car. I thought it was just a lighting issue but that does not seem to be the case as I tried a few different lighting things and nothing changed. I'm somewhat frustrated because I really feel this is something so simple but I couldn't figure it out. Instead of just duplicating the other car I remade a totally new car and it was the same result. Like I said I am very noobish to this so I'm sorry about my lack of knowledge on this. Any help is appreciated and for now I am going to watch some more tutorial videos on blender to see if I can figure this out myself. Thanks!

Looks to be an autosmooth issue.
Make sure this is unticked

Then enter edit mode, select everything with the A key, press M to merge and select "by distance". Now go into modifiers and add an edge split modifier like so.

For whatever reason a lot of models you get from converting .x files end up having bad shading, this fixes it all of the time, but since it relies on being able to merge doubled geometry, it can introduce other issues (such as the ones you see when trying to work with CWS files).
Let me know if this doesn't solve it.
