3d The buffer will turn to massage the barked (7) B _ R _ I _ H.
I have an answer of BURNISH which is what the buffer will do. Also "turn to massage" (RUB) gives BUR as a start. However I don't see where NISH comes from. "the" barked (skinned) may be H

Meant to say shin massaged = anagram of shin, massage being an anagram indicator.

Is that the full clue?

Yes, this is the whole clue
the nish is shin massaged-- the barked is usually a shin

Hi Donny, if massage is an anagram indicator for shin then it can't be a synonym for RUB to turn into BUR at the beginning of the answer?
All in all it is not a very good clue.IMO.
could a certain type of massage be a "sin rub" ??
