polishable
Able to gleam
Polishable describes something that can be polished—made smooth, shiny, or refined through rubbing or effort.
The term applies to physical surfaces like polishable marble countertops or polishable leather shoes, as well as to abstract things like writing or presentations that can be improved with attention: The draft was rough but polishable.
