Some of use saw Buddy on Cake Boss using a steamer to achieve a shiny finish. Another trick I came across accidentally was brushing the fondant with liquor. I used Cointreau for real shine, Kahlua when I need more of a brown for a wine box. and tequila for less shine to clean up any confectionery sugar from rolling. Save the wine for drinking....

You can use vodka too if you want it to dry without leaving a flavor behind.
If you ever need a really glossy shine (think patent leather), confectioner's glaze will do it.
