Yes, I am preparing two videos, one about Daylight, the other about materials. Although I would love to make the second one when Corona gets rid of the glossiness curve, which makes any "rules" wrong :- (today we started working on it
Dubcat... I experimented with your technique and Maru's Noise Map and Frankensteined his with yours to produce something I was happy with.
I still don't know what's going on.... but it pointed me in the right direction. Thanks.
Unless you're trying to recreate puddles on the wood, you need to map glossiness and bump on wet material as well. Just make sure that wet material has a little bit darker diffuse and a little bit brighter glossiness. I did quick and lazy setup to show what i'm talking about. Of course, it's better to control maps by color correctional nodes or by modifying texture externally, instead of changing map's amount like i did.
well, the 'artist' I think is a category, there is no other. I never call myself that, or actually anything. I just do stuff.

It's not as easy as people think though, I have lot of work daily, family I have to help and visit, and to create 1 hour of video, takes about 20 hours of preparation. Or even to start.... which is why I am much better teacher "real-time", where I can just talk,
then organizing myself to do proper job.
I answer tons of stuff people ask me, that is very easy compared to it. Everything else stresses me quite a lot, and I am in lot of stress already in life.

Patchy effect happens in glossiness map which is quite contrasty.
Wet effect happens when the diffuse is made darker than when dry, and glossiness is higher.
I like Dubcat's setup :- ) That is bit more flexible. The mix map shouldn't be that extreme though, it should basically mix 100perc. Wet, and 50perc wet, for example.
Change IOR in the wet material to 999.
Throw a Color Correction on the wet mask and adjust until you get the effect you want.
Change the IOR back to 1.33 when you are done.
By the way, have you seen this thread? Juraj is explaining some stuff in it, he shows screenshots of material setup, and even the textures... https://forum.corona-renderer.com/index.php/topic,2018.msg15098.html#msg15098
Try something like this.
Leave reflection level alone and adjust glossiness. Water will fill all the little cracks and make the wood look more glossy.
Create a second UV channel for the wet map and link it.
I don't have time to tweak the example, but you get the idea.
Many thanks, Dubcat :)

My post was ironic. What I meant was that there is no easy step-by-step guide to create a perfect material like this. It will definitely require a lot of hard work. But I might try creating something similar later, why not...
I guess there is no magic trick here. Proper reflectivity maps, glossiness maps, then a lot of tweaking and you are done. :)
