This guy does a CLR demonstration on his 59 El Camino. One thing to remember is to use some gloves when you do it because CLR is pretty acidic I believe.

Here are some pictures of when I did mine to my fenders. I don't have a real close up of before but you can see a difference. I believe the scothbrite pad does most of the work. I mixed mine 1 part CLR to 3 parts water so 25/75 but you might want to do 4 to 1 so it lasts longer. I also used warm water just for the simple fact it was cold outside but it prolly helps out lowering the surface tension too. I scrubbed the fenders then let it sit for about 15 minutes scrubbed it down one more time and washed it off with a water hose a couple of times. Prolly outta wash it one good time too after you get done with the whole truck.






Here is a picture after it got done. You can see the big difference between the fender and the hood!
