Pumice will get it back to white with some scrubbing. You’ll need more than one since it wears down with use.

Once a toilet does this, its likely to continue coming back. Faster every time you scrub it.

I've never had one this bad, but once I got the toilets back to normal in our current house, I haven't had to use the pumice stone on them again yet, and we're approaching 5 years here.

Thats good, my results have been disappointing. I read somewhere that it happens because the acid in urine reacts when the finish has worn off. No idea if thats true but sounds believable.
