1. Do you want to refinish it, or just find a way to keep it clean?

My bathtub is in the same situation, the porcelain is worn off. I have looked into refinishing it, but I am not satisfied with what I have found. But I have found a way to keep it looking good and clean....after a million products. I get it looking as good as new with Bar Keepers Friend cleanser. I don't know what is different about this one, and I have tried so many cleansers, but this does the job---it is like it bleaches out the tub.

I know this isn't what you are looking for, but it is all I have to offer. I will be watching this for other suggestions that I might consider for the tub.

I'd rather refinish it. Doesn't make sense to buy a new toilet for a swath about a 4 inch area. no_hypocrisy Aug 2012 #2

Bar Keepers Friend. Second that! It is great stuff. Paper Roses Aug 2012 #3
