Slogs wildly, yet with a certain polish (5)

I believe the answer is:

gloss

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

'polish' is the definition.
(I know that gloss is a kind of polish)

'slogs wildly yet with a certain' is the wordplay.
'slogs' can be anagrammed to 'GLOSS'.
Though, I am unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gloss that I've seen before include "Superficial appearance" , "Superficial shine" , "Sheen - paint" , "Render plausible" , "Shiny surface" .)
