they will certainly improve thats for sure

for someone to say yes to you would be a stab in the dark imho without seeing the panel

from the picture id say the panel has a lot of oxidised paint on it and this will when removed improve the situaution greatly

i know its not a definitive answer but its an honest one

I'm having some removed from my front wing at the moment,trouble is,the fluid sinks into the paint so by the time you have polished it out,the paintwork is a mess.My body work man has had to wet flat it down,build up with putty filler and then the usual priming & spraying etc,this seems to have been the only way to fully restore the panel.
