Crossword Genius

She goes with some men, showing polish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'polish' is the definition.
(both can mean a shiny surface)

'she goes with some men' is the wordplay.
'goes with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some men' becomes 'en' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'she'+'en'='SHEEN'

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheen that I've seen before include "splendid clothing" , "Surface gloss" , "Acting family" , "Polish" , "Superficial brightness" .)
