I like to use a cleaning product called CLR. The "trick" to using this cleaner is to spray it on and walk away. Come back in a half-hour and wipe clean. Rhett, depending on how old your tub is, it may need to be re-glazed. I'm only saying this because sometimes older tubs require it after years and years of use. Good luck to you.
The 'rings' might be exposing the original color of the tub-not dirt! My plastic-type tub was originally gold and someone had painted it white..using a diy product sold for such use. However after 9 yrs of me scrubbing my tub-scrubbing extra hard on the ring area-I finally realized that the old gold was peeking thru. I need to redo or replace the tub

Clean the Tub Without Breaking Your Back
This happened to me, also. I used 1/2 c. blue Dawn Dishwashing Detergent plus 1/2 c. white cleaning vinegar in a spray bottle. This will be thick. Mix gently and spray on the stain. Leave it a couple of hours or overnite. Rub the stain with a damp sponge. May need to re-apply, but i got wonderful results.
