If your sinks are 30 years old it is not unusual to see this kind of wear. Here's a few ideas that make help you!

Barkeeper's Friend should take the scratches out. If the finish is completely worn away you'll have to paint with an oil based paint, apply a refinishing kit, etc.
Is it rough to the touch? My sink like yours, felt rough like it was a calcuim ring left by the water. I tried bleach, sitting on it for awhile and it did lighten it but was still rough. Then I tried letting vinegar sit on it for overnight and then took a rough scouring pad. I used a nylon one and even a scouring sponge. Took a lot of elbow grease but got it smooth again. Now I clean it with vinegar every week or so and so far it looks a lot better. My sink is about 25 years old. I try to keep it shiny and clean with Glass Wax (a pink liquid in a can).
I would use a magic eraser. The one with cleaner in it already. It does not scratch. I was surprised at how many things it cleans, beautifully.
Hi Lauri, there are lots of cleaning solutions here:

Use a moist Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
Do not use a Magic Eraser, It will completely destroy the cultured marble. Try vinegar with baking soda, or Bar Keepers Friend. I know the BKF will work for sure on the kitchen sink.
