Abrasive cleansers

The Ming Green American-Standard tub (cast iron) that was installed in my house when it was built in 1952 has a dulled finish. My mom used cleanser such as Comet or Bab-O, which was rather abrasive in it's earlier versions.

While cast iron tubs have a much thicker coating, stamped steel fixtures coating is much thinner. I've seen several steel tubs that the color is completely worn through.
 
Scouring powders were superseded by cream cleaners. Note that the creams were substantially gentler and easier rinsed away.
