So this thread pushed me to work on my glass shower door (as well as deep-clean the rest of my dusty house). It has pretty bad mineral build up on the glass from a housekeeper that for months kept saying she was cleaning it (and later admitted she wasn’t because she hated cleaning showers) to it not getting any attention when I broke my ankle. At this point the glass is etched pretty bad where the shower hits it most. I’ve tried everything listed here. And for the last 3 days Dh and I have been working with the Weiman’s glass cooktop cleaner and polish. It easily took off the top layer of soap scum and mineral build up. I tried using it different ways- smearing it on, letting it dry and then wiping the dry flakes off. That was easy and came off easily with no streaks. But since then, I’ve been smearing it on and then scrubbing it a-la-Karate Kid fashion with a wet choreboy. I’ve also tried soaking paper towels with vinegar and leaving them clinging to the doors. I don’t think that did much either. Back to the circular scrubbing. Who has 3 days to work on their shower? None of this is making enough of a difference.
So now DH has his car paint polishing/ buffing machine in there trying to do the same thing with the Weiman’s. He agrees it’s not doing much to remove the etching. He’s planning to try next a headlight repair kit. It’s suppose to remove hardened crap and polish car headlight glass. After that doesn’t work and we give up on it all, we are using rainx on it.
