I have only thought of it, I'm worried about it becomes shinny and looks bad.

I use Zaino and it doesn't leave much of a shine. Just enough that the lighter color in the Carbon Fiber pops out.

My detailer does it for me. A must if your car sees a lot of sunlight

Nope, you aren't the only one. I just did it to mine yesterday with some chemical guys stuff. Looked a little dull before... looks brand new now (but not shiny). Great stuff.

I think using leather conditioner on those areas is a must.
