Finish with unexpected result (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lustre

'finish' is the definition.
(lustre is a kind of finish)

'unexpected result' is the wordplay.
'unexpected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'result' is an anagram of 'LUSTRE'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lustre that I've seen before include "Sheen or renown" , "Polish" , "Reflected light, sheen" , "Soft brightness or glory" , "effect of reflected light" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
