Does polish modified goods if they look a bit worn (10)
I believe the answer is:
shopsoiled
'worn' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'does polish modified' is the wordplay.
'modified' is an anagram indicator.
'does'+'polish'='doespolish'
'doespolish' with letters rearranged gives 'SHOPSOILED'.
'goods if they look a bit' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shopsoiled that I've seen before include "Made dirty while being displayed" , "Tarnished from being on display" , "the worse for use" , "Spoilt by time in window, etc" .)
