Kaboom. You do have to use a whole bottle to clean the doors and tub and tile--but it is SO worth it. Spray it on starting at the top, go all the way across, and work your way down in about 6 inch rows of spray. Let it all sit on there about 10 minutes, then go in with one of those Scotch-Brite sponges with the abrasive side and just go to work. It comes right off. Rinse and you have a new shower door. I love the stuff and it doesn't irritate my sinuses at all.

I buy mine at Wal-Mart.

I would not recommend using limaway on granite-but it does work great on water spots. Once you get the spots off there is a glass product that you apply that acts like car wax to prevent waterspots. Also,we keep a small squeegee to wipe down the glass-that also helps.

In the old house, I tried everything and nothing took those dam spots off!
With the new house, we too, keep a squeege in the shower and it takes an extra 5 secs to wipe the glass down. Still looks great after 4 yrs of showers!

Diamon Fushion. I got it at a shower door/glass door place in Portofino(just south of Home Depot), across from the Woodlands about 5 years ago. Worked like a charm. The ONLY thing I could get to work. However I now also use a squeegie and towel down after every shower and have had no problems in 5 years either!!
