we have a soft water system so i thought i wouldn't get water spots,but i still see streaks and spots. it's not calcium build up or hard water stains because when i run my fingers against the door i don't really feel anything. it's more like a thin film and i see the water spots. i've tried alot of different claeners but the i can't get ird of the spots.

Tilex makes a great soap scum remover. It works on soft water scum, too. It is painless. Spray. Wait. Wipe. I love it! White vinegar is cheaper, but it takes a bit more work.

Try lemon oil or baby oil. The oil will soften any buildup if there is any, but then the water will just bead off the glass.
There also used to be a product called Glass Wax, and it did the same thing--caused the water to bead up and run off.

I use CLR. Also, I use mineral oil on a papertowel and rub it on the glass. It shouldn't be enough to drip down, just enough to keep it shiny looking until the next cleaning. I also keep a spray bottle of bleach water in there and spray the surround and tub down after each shower so it's not that difficult to clean later.

Definitely try a Magic Sponge (Mr. Clean). They are awesome for removing soap scum and water stains. You can just use water with out suffocating on cleaner smell.

Put baby oil on a soft cloth and rub on the doors and it will make your spots disappear.

My very fav cleaner is called "The Works." Spray it down, let it sit for about 3-4 minutes, scrub it a little bit....(make sure you have gloves and the fan is on or the window is open! This stuff is STRONG!!!) ...then rinse.
It's awesome stuff :-)

Scrubbing Bubbles works in my shower. If not, I have also used car window cleaner on the shower doors and it works well too.

Vinegar, warm water a cloth and a squeegee.
It's cheap, easy, and you get a really professional finish.

I've used sos pads on glass doors for the shower and it worked great to get the scum off.
