Tried a bunch of products but nothing doing a very good job cleaning the watermarks from the inside of the shower doors. Recommendations? R

Autoglym car glass POLISH, not glass cleaner, yes it's about 7 quid,but you've probably spent that already on stuff that doesn't work,
Will work a treat and more importantly, little effort.

Posted a similar thread a while back cleaning shower screen
I ended up trying some CIF and a dish cleaning sponge with the green abrasive pad on it: by far the best result and probably the cheapest. Clean the outside of the glass too, it's surprising how much crud gets on there.

We use two cloths. The first one clears most of the water off, the second "buffs" it up. I can find out exactly which ones if you want. Keeps the shower sparkly clean.

If makes an utter mess of grout and will seriously weaken it as well! Be careful where you use it.

Another vote for Viakel here. Just did mine the other day actually. Really cuts though the limescale. Make sure to have a couple of windows open when you use it though - the fumes off it are evil.

Or even better, Autoglym Super Resin Polish. (SRP)

Wife attacked the shower cubicle in our new (to us) house with no success, using all sorts of bathroom cleaners. Half an hour with SRP and it was like new. Did the glass, tiles, shower head and shower tray. Doesn't make it slippery either.
