I've had good luck using auto glass polish and a dual action buffer with microfiber pads. You can get different levels of grit in the polish. Use the least abrasive that'll give you the results you're looking for. Once the deposits are gone, treat with some type of glass coating so they are easier to remove next time. We've also started to squeegee after using the shower.

If you are using s chemical be aware that it’ll eat a porcelain tub. I know this because I did it years ago. Left some wink working on tile , it ran into the tub creating little drainage systems it was just awesome I tell you.

DO NOT use this. Muriatic acid eats the hell out of the drain pipes.

Nor- magic erasor it is made of pumice and will scratch glass. Nor steel wool, nor sos pads.


Whink is an acid that is mild enough to work with, with bare hands. But stronger than vinegar. it's cheap and WORKS and won't harm anything else. We get etching out of glass on $2500-15,000 windows with it.

I highly recommend the liquid version of Bar Keepers Friend.

Don’t just use white vinegar. Add baking soda. It will foam up but it works.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I've tried just about everything. Bar Keepers Friend did the best job for me.
