Two Europeans finish (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

french polish

'finish' is the definition.
(finish of furniture say)

'two europeans' is the wordplay.
'two europeans' means two replacements for 'european'.
'european' becomes 'French ' (France is in Europe).
'european' becomes 'polish' (Poland is in Europe).
'french'+'polish'='FRENCH-POLISH'

(Other definitions for french polish that I've seen before include "buff with this" , "Shine" , "Shiner" , "Glossy varnish for wood" , "buffer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
