comment
In a lot of comic books and anime, especially of the Ecchi and Hentai type, characters that are supposed to have particularly "tight" bodies will be depicted as having a constant high-gloss on their exposed skin, even when they're supposed to be completely dry. This could be to emphasize their smooth skin, to draw more attention to a woman's bosom or legs, or to achieve a full Moe look.
If done well, it will give the impression of youthful elasticity and sturdiness. If overdone, it might lead to characters looking more like inflatable dolls, which might or might not be the desired effect.
A Chrome Champion, who appears to be made of polished metal, typically has this.

The Stormy Knight version of Phantom Lady displayed this a lot in the mid-2000s version of Freedom Fighters. This was particularly notable since the artist didn't do this to any other character in the comic, leading to a fan theory that she was actually an Auton.

The female characters in Highschool of the Dead when their skin is exposed, which is all the damn time, it shows them having really glossy bodies, particularly their boobs, thighs, and legs. And even their butts when they show them.

Some of the female characters of Toradora!, such as Ami and Yasuko, have a very slight gloss on their cheeks.

An episode of Excel♡Saga parodied fanservicey anime by turning up the contrast and brightness of the show to achieve this effect.

The Order of the Stick parodied this in the strip introducing the gladiators.

Several monsters in Silent Hill 2 have this look to an intentional, disgusting effect.

In the fanservice-laden Prison School, the bustiest female character, Meiko, has shiny boobs which are shown most of the time due to her revealing school uniform.

Mods for The Elder Scrolls and Bethesda's Fallout games are infamous of this trope.

The Fabulous Custodes in If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device are perpetually oiled up, as befits their Macho Camp and Stripperiffic look. The Emperor is less than amused, threatening to toss a match at them. Whammudes in particular has oiled himself up to such extent that he can slide around faster than he can walk.

While not prevalent in the series overall, Tekken Tag Tournament 2 actually goes out of its way to avert this trope by showing dirt, water, mud, and whatever that gunk filling up Fallen Garden is on the fighter's clothes (or even a specific spot) as they get knocked to the ground. There's even an achievement for getting gunked in Fallen Garden (Doused But Not Out).

In-universe in Dr. STONE: curious macaques, who have never seen a human before, think of the naked, hairless Senku as a "shiny monkey!"
