As far as details about the composition of Timberluxe, i am sure there are details on their we site. When i do a finish using just Timberluxe, i wet sand it into the wood for the first two or three costs and then hand apply it in the coats after that. I do knock down with steel wool every couple of coats as needed. The finish coats are left as they dry and the sheen you see is just that. The only thing i can note about Timberluxe is that is takes a long time for the finish to really get hard. It has a bit of a "green" feel for some time after applying it.
I will a lot of times also use Timberluxe as a final top coat over my shellac finishes to get the sheen i am looking to acheive.

It does get more into the wood and provide a darker and richer finish than Tru Oil. And though i do have a bottle of Pro Custom here, i have not used it enough to formulate an opinion about it.
