It's a well-known saying that 'You can't polish a turd'.
The generally accepted definition of this term is an 'unconvincing attempt to make a bad situation look good'.
In other words, the situation is so bad, you just can't make it look any better, even with polish (or some other superficial improvement).
But boy can you polish these TWABs Cozmo

You can polish a turd. Myth Busters proved it. Lion shit is the best for polishing.
