Hi,
How do I keep my cast iron tub looking brand new or is it just going to dull after a few years??
Thanks,

You are cleaning the tubs surface, not the cast iron. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and rinse well after reach use. This should keep it looking good for a real long time.

I think cast iron is one of the most durable materials for a tub and can remain shiney far longer than a fiberglass or acrylic tub.
I would try some of the new foaming sprays or other non-abrasive cleanser. If you do want something for scrubbing I'd get something like Soft Scrub and go easy. Remember that you are not sanding, just trying to get rid of the soap scum.
