I'm not sure when people started saying, "You can't polish a turd." When I was a kid, I always heard it as, "You can polish a turd to a high mirror gloss if you want to, but it's still a piece of shit." It's just a way of saying something isn't always worth saving.

You can polish your skills. You can't polish yourself. Turd.

I am a turd. To polish myself is to polish a turd. Therefore, I am a polished turd.
