Basically, i know that some people use certain glue types in order to achieve that effect.
How and what do you mix to achieve that?

Try painting a layer of simple white glue over a previously sealed and painted surface. Before it is totally dry, pull up the skin top into disgusting rivets and layers, then hit with a shiny varnish - It should look suitably nasty, I would think.

Actually, if you use the washable white glue, i think it stays a bit flexible and rubbery a while after it dries, so might be the easiest to work with.

White PVA glue makes a fantastic skin. I put a couple big blobs on a plate, microwave for about 15 seconds and peel off the semi-dried skin from top. Apply to model and good to go.
For the wet look, paint that area with a gloss. I prefer Future floor polish

Have you tried Acryl lack?

What's Acryl lack?
That an alternative to Future? I'm sure most any floor cleaner with acrylic in it will give that nice gloss finish. I use Future because it's super glossy and dries clear so your paint shows through well.
Hope that helped!
