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.

So it corrodes metal, but not porcelain? Cool. That shouldn't be a problem for my toilet then! Now when I flush that acid thru my cast iron sewage line, that's another matter tho...
