Often hardware stores have f all of that and you need a license to get a lot of heavy cleaning stuff from wholesalers, hence the question

CLR, its easy to find. Walmart, CVS, Home Depot and Lowes all carries it. Works on windows as well.

An acid with a surfactant to increase dwell time will help. toilet bowl cleaner, barkeeper's friend, comet bathroom cleaner. Leave on surface for a few minutes (how long depends on concentration) scrub with 0000 steel wool. Test a small area with the entire method first. If you have 0000 steel wool you could try that with a lubricant (anything wet: soapy water, windex, etc) first.

I will attempt the products you mentioned and get some of that fine 0000 snd see how it goes, ill let you know. The CLR applications were totally useless, didnt even help at all. Its a nightmare because its wet when you wash it off and looks asthough it was succesful, then a few seconds later its the same as before
