Hola tengo que traducir este parrafo, pero no logro encontrar el sentido en la frase: "finished off at the edges for me"

"Maybe he is too perfect, clean and finished off at the edges for me, with his capability, intelligence, lack of smoking, freedom from alcoholism, and his chauffeur-driven cars."

Este es mi intento: "Quizá él es demasiado perfecto, inocente e intachable para mí, con su gran capacidad, inteligencia, el hecho de no fumar, de ser abstemio y viajar en coches con chófer.

Muchas gracias

"finished off at the edges". Muy elegante, sofisticado, guapo, y cortés.

I'd agree with 'Sofisticado', Sophisticated. Prehaps 'middle-class', 'clase media' would be appropriate as well. - cazkinsx, Apr 22, 2012
This person actually seems more high class to me caz, middle class don't have "chauffeur-driven cars". ;-) - DJ_Huero, May 21, 2012

Que no tiene imperfecciones. "finished off at the edges" significa perfecto. Refiere a algo material, como madera, que puede ser áspero. Lo que quieres es suave, o madera lijado.

Una persona "finished off at the edges" es perfecto, como madera suave o madera lijado. No hay defectos.
