The biggest difference is the distance. The same lights at various distances will show and/or hide defects. Gas station lights are usually way high up. The reflection of the light shows defects but it is high enough that the actual light will not wash out the defects.

Leave it to Air Force One detail-man to solve the riddle that has always vexed me! THANKS!

Geez, I know I already went into detail... but it's just almost unbearably unsightly at gas stations. It's like 10,000 Brinkman swirl finder lights!
