Crossword Genius

Polishes with the odd rub. Shines amazingly (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

burnishes

'polishes' is the definition.
(burnishing is a kind of polishing)

'the odd rub shines amazingly' is the wordplay.
'the odd' is an anagram indicator.
'amazingly' indicates an anagram.
'rub' with letters rearranged gives 'bur'.
'shines' is an anagram of 'nishes'.
'bur'+'nishes'='BURNISHES'

'with' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
