Exaggerated military attention to appearances (4,3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spit and polish

(Other definitions for spit and polish that I've seen before include "associated with old buffers?" , "(Close attention to) military discipline" , "Punctilious military discipline" , "Immaculate (military) neatness" , "Thorough cleaning of kit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
