Ok....so I suck at modeling unto curved surfaces and because of this, I have got some very annoying pinching on my model. I will upload the pictures and the actual file if I can so if someone can take a look and help me, that would be great. :)

The bad pinching in that area is from the faces being non-planar.
You need to either introduce a new edge loop to break those faces into 2, or make the face planar by tweaking it’s vertices.

There’s entire model is kinda messy - bad edgeloops, floating vertices, 3-sided and 5-sided polygons - these will all cause visual issue at rendertime.

It’s gonna take a good amount of work to clean this up…
