How to use a reflection map?

Ok, I have a few questions about reflection maps and how to use them. First off, I HAVE read alot of stuff about them and have come to the decision,.........well, that I need to know how to use them. Is it the same principle as a bump map, similar to the steps.

1. Lay out UVs
2. Paint reflected areas black, and not reflective white.
3. Apply the image as a reflectiveness thing.

So, I have tried tinkering with it a little, but no luck. Should I save in a certain format? 32 bit? Anything else.

Thank you for your help,
