I have tried all kinds of commercialised brands but no improvements at all. I am confident only acid does the job but how to get it the legal way? Help!

well you can use The Works on it or lime away. you will have to soak the stain for an hour or so. if its in the water you can use about a 1/4 gallon of bleach overnight to get rid of the stain. good luck.

Good answers above, but a couple other home remedies:
Remove the water from the bowl then pour in two liters of carbonic acid (coca cola for example). Leave it over night.
Also, toothpaste is amazing for stains on dishes, maybe it will do the toilet trick too.

Pumice stone works very good for removing bad stains, put on a pair of latex gloves wet the stone and scrub, you can find pumice stones at Walmart in the nail care area or any hardware stores.

First thing,Do you have a septic system? I would not use anything else if you do!You will kill off all the vital bacteria micro-isms.
If you want to use a "acid", I would use anything to clean tile grout.I find 'FIZZAZLE' works very well.
The stain may be etched in the porcelain and you may not be able to get it out.Ounce the 'glaze' is breached,the stain is in the porcelain itself.Try the grout cleaners,if they do not work,it's time to live with it or get a new toilet.

Before you try acid try using a pumice stone. You can get one at any hardware store. If it doesn't work the acid can be purchased at a store that sells pool supplies. Ask for muratic acid but be very careful with it.

You can go down to the local hardware store and buy it. Just buy whisk or whink to get that toilet clean. You can buy it at doolar general or any dollar store. Good Luck

i agree witht he pumice stone suggestions. i had to clean a toliet that a loser tenant had let sit for months without cleaning. the pumice stone, comet and a little elbow grease got the job done.

I have used a commercial product called "Santeen" - I purchase at a local restaraunt supply store - maybe try janitorial supply, etc.
