Beat way to preserve old "Patina"
 

I Have a 57 Panel with a nice faded Dairy Queen paint job. Professionaly painted with logos and all. How do I shine a little and protect. Nu Finish no good. it is probably lacquer? how do you tell if Lacquer or other?

why not just spray it with clear coat with flattening agent added

look for anything on web forums by a guy named "skim". he has an impala that has beautiful patina, he cleaned it with CLR and cleared.

Here you go, found it:

WOW the results of the CLR just blow me away.
I'll look a car a bit differently now with surface rust on it.

I'm doing this right now with the CLR to my truck and when I finish the process I will wet sand and clear the truck...I will tell you it is a slow process...If you look at my farm truck build in my signature you can see what I've done so far to my hood...that's after about 3 hours total on two different days washing the hood with CLR...
