Anyway i am not sure if that works. Try it on a spot that is not visible and see if you like the result i guess.
Linseed oil boiled orunboiled oil= Stays sticky for EVER!! might preserve the rest of the car but it will look oiled.
Be careful with the CLR product, it will burn your skin - rubber gloves & goggles are needed.
