When I was in the Navy back in the 80's we would use a mixture of coke and cherry or grape flavored Kool-aid to clean toilets. Half a can of coke, and a packet of Kool-aid for each toilet, let sit for a couple of hours, swirl with a toilet brush and flush. Clean as a whistle!

as well or better than Brasso.
I used to collect pennies as a kid, and we used to use vinegar and salt to clean and shine them up. Let a bunch of wheatbacks soak in there over night and they will look as good as a newly minted coin! Just don't soak any of the steel pennies!
