Cleaning glass shower screen

[wolfracesonic]

I've just tried to spruce up my glass shower screen using Hagesan professional lime scale remover. I used it 50/50 with water and to be fair it's probably the best product of it's type I've tried, however there are still 'water beads' evident. If I try scratching at them with my finger nail I can just about shift them. So my questions are:

• Have another go using it neat?
• What's the best type of abrasive to help things along? I used one of those dish cleaning sponges

with the abrasive, wiry stuff on it. Is there anything more aggressive I can use without damaging the glass?

• Is it possible that lime scale can permanently mark the glass?

Thanks for any pointers. PH, Alkalinity matters.

Not tried the Limelight, will give it a go.

Any Updates on how the lemon & salt has worked, or any others?

Limelight cleaner on order from Amazon, haven't found the gel version in the shops yet. I might try the lemon and salt at your suggestion, I'm intrigued if nothing else. Maybe the salt is mild abrasive and the acidity of the lemon counteracts the alkalinity of the limescale. Or maybe it's a wind up and you are trying to get me to wipe increasingly unlikely substances on my shower screen I doubt I'll get the glass looking like new though

Had a go yesterday with a lemon and some salt, mixed results. It removed a bit more lime scale following the application of the HG Hagesan product, though another go with the latter would have probably achieved the same result. The lemon did smell nice though and was cheaper. Worryingly, I tried scraping the glass with a fish tank algae cleaner, brand new razor blade in it and that didn't remove the final traces either. Final attempt will be with the Lime light cleaner I have ordered, though I fear the glass is irrevocably marked Thanks for all your suggestions, it seems the key is to keep on top of it, not to let it get to the state where you can barely see through the glass.

^ Cheers for that, will get hold of some Magic Erasers and give them a go.

Update. I've just tried the Limelight gel and the magic eraser sponges, aaaaaaaaaaaand , no improvement from my last attempt with the lemon and salt My one last hope now to try some cerium oxide and try to polish away the crud, more mechanical than chemical!
