Like all things in detailing, try the least aggressive products first IMO. I'd first try a better cleaner. I use 303 Aerospace Protectant, which cleans and dresses a bit. If that doesn't work, maybe a more aggressive dressing. Something like Mother's Back to Black or Duragloss 271. If you need to go harder than that, a dye-based product like Forever Black will work.

CLR?

I assume this is a before pic. Dilute Simple Green 4:1 and spray it down and let it sit, use a soft brush and scrub it good. Lightly rinse and dry and dress it. It should be good to go.
