A couple suggestions....Noxon, Meguiars Paint Cleaner or/and Ultimate Compound....by hand. Try a small inconspicuous area first. Regards.

Stay away from the abrasive stuff...a fine compound or chemical cleaner is the way to go..unless it's too far gone.

No hope ! Buy some nice ones or redo with a bathtub glaze which will make it look like porcelain again.

Go on line and look up antique bath tub refinishing. You have to etch with acid first to make the porcelain clean and poise then you spray with primer and then glaze and it looks like porcelain when your done. I have done a monitor top frig. a gas pump, dental cabinet and several other things this way. Also a kitchen sink. Comes out great.
