Koehler makes a fairly decent porcelainized cast iron sink but they are not
impervious to all things, they need to be properly cared for from day one.
Should have gotten more than ten years from the finish, but if one is abusive
then...

I'd contact Koehler and ask what they recommend for renewing the sink's
surface... and also request a Care Manual.

Btw, permitting your dishwasher to back up into your sink is a big no-no... the
dishwashing compound will etch a sink's surface (porcelain or stainless). Even
if you install a brand new sink it will become etched in short order. There is
absolutely no reason whatsoever for a dishwasher to back up into a sink, yours
is installed *incorrectly*... call a licensed plumber.
