Couple of questions on the below sentence

"The boy gave his shoes a good polishing"

1.Can I convert this sentence to passive voice?

2. I am trying to identify parts of the sentence, can you let me know if the below is correct.
The boy - subject
gave - verb
his shoes - complement or indirect object?
a good polishing - complement or object?

Below is my thinking -

1. Sentence can be converted to passive voice -
A good polishing was given to the shoes by the boy
Predicate first followed by the subject.

2. Breaking the sentence
Sentence is a complex sentence with one main clause and one subordinate clauses.
The boy gave his shoes - Main clause.
a good polishing - Adverb clause.
