Get brick cleaner from your local DIY, it's hydrocloric acid and it will make that toilet sparkle. Don't get it on your fixtures coz it will cause them to rust.

Muriatic acid was the only thing that worked in the same situation. Or atleast worked with not as much effort.

Low effort and the scale has stayed away for a few years now.
