I placed a call to the warranty dept., and the plumber came out. He was clueless as to what to do. Our builder then came out, and scrubbed it with Barkeeper's Friend and a Triple-Zero steel wool pad, but that didn't help. He didn't know what else to do.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

I normally try to remove stubborn spots with non-abrasive products. It does not hurt if you try making a paste of baking soda mixed with lemon juice. Let it seat over the spot for a good 5-10 minutes to react. Then scrub with with a non-abrasive sponge.
I did these steps over some "rust-like" spots on the bath tube and it came out clean. Make the paste stronger or leave it longer depending on the nature of the spot.
Hope it helps!
