hard water and soap scum

[steve1972]

Trying to clean up glass shower doors but can't find anything that is taken of the hard water soap scum. Any ideas?

You can use a glass polish like Mothers Waterspot Remover, DG NuGlass, or even a paint polish. It just depends on severity. They can be stubborn.

I tried HD cut with an orange pad on my DA. Didn't seem to work. But thanks
They are actually acrylic not glass. Sorry

You may need to use something like a headlight kit approach, sand then polish since it may be soft and more deeply etched.

I have never seen acrylic used in showers... Normally, its 1/2" tempered glass...

Did you have your D/A running on 6 ?

You need all the pad rotation you can get, Im thinking...

Good luck with this..

A compound would probably work.

The Works! That is all that "works". The only catch is to find the original in the translucent bottle with green lettering.

You could perhaps try Kaboom?

Stokdgs here you go Acrylic Shower Door, Acrylic Shower Door Products, Acrylic Shower Door Suppliers and Manufacturers at Alibaba.com

Not suppose to use kaboom on acrylic. Ended up using vinegar and baking soda mixture. Not all came off but about 90% did

This has been my go to for every water spot issue with glass...you could also use 0000 steel wool to remove water spots on glass

A-MAZ Water Stain Remover | Biodegradable, Non-toxic, Eco-friendly & Safe.

Use steam. Pick up a steam cleaner from Amazon for $30 to $35

If you are attempting to compound off the water spots, you might need an old school, gritty compound. I really like Meguiars #4 Heavy-Cut Cleaner.

Probably gonna be a TON of work on acrylic to get it c.ear/smooth again

You could try carpro spotless water spot remover.

Speaking of acid based cleaners for removing shower scum: I'll use 12oz of white vinegar nuked until hot, then poured into a 24oz spray bottle along with 12oz of Dawn. Hot vinegar fumes are VERY nasty so make sure the windows are open before you start. Give the bottle a shake and spray away. Let dwell for at least 1 hour and then rinse. Done.
