CLR works to dissolve calcium, lime, and rust. It does not fix degraded glass. CLR is also one of the secret ingredients in my bloody mary recipe

No, but it will make it look slightly better. You can use a little olive oil temporarily, but as the others said, no. It needs to be smoothed out through tumbling.

And believe me, I've tried every method to prove the experts wrong. I have found using cat litter and a little water for a couple cycles will clear up a murky looking bottle nicely.

It works on rust and some cloudiness in bottles. Just shake it very well, rinse and repeat.
