Morphology
high-finished + look
The phrase is compositional: 'high' (to a great degree) + 'finished' (polished, completed) combined with 'look' (appearance) yields an appearance that is very polished and refined, so a learner who knows the constituent words can infer the meaning. Although 'high-finished' is a nonstandard formation (native speakers would more often say 'highly finished' or 'high-finish'), the semantic relation is transparent and derivable from the parts.
Etymology
High-finished look comes from the world of making things: when a maker sands, paints and polishes a table or car many times, it gets a very smooth, shiny finished surface taken to a high level. So the phrase means an appearance that is very 'polished' and 'refined'.
