Cleaning shower Glass

I definitely know what you're going through haha!

I've normally used the same solutions for the shower doors I've maintained from scratch personally to great success but I couldn't for the life of me remove it from the new home's ~10 year old doors that were never cleaned for some awful reason.

I eventually determined that the deposit and stain build up was inside and between the glass after so long, which is why no premade and mixed solutions + steaming could do the job, so I unfortunately had to bite the bullet and replace the doors. So much wasted time and effort lol :(
Its definitely not between the glass because I used water-sand paper on it and i was able to see some stuff coming out. But that was scratching the glass.
I need something abrasive but softer.
 
What do the auto glass people use for polishing?
I was thinking of buying a polishing pad that would fit on my drill, but I just dont know what compounds to use on it.
 
Maybe a picture would help?

This should sort you out.


You can buy the included products separately, I just don’t remember what they were.
 
That's for plastic though.

Aah you are right. But then there’s maybe another one for glass because I remember it being a lot cheaper and including the same metal polish you can use on rims and chrome etc.
 
I can't really make out what has formed on that shower door, but if it is some form of mineral deposit, then I would believe you would have to scrub. Stuff like lime scale does form, and vinegar and lemon juice is the affordable method, and then dry buffing the best you can.

What can I use for buffing?
 
I don't understand what's happening here. That looks like a wooden door?
Wooden door is the bathroom door behind the shower door. I opened the shower door to take a pic, the wooden door was behind it
 
Didn't work. That **** won't budge.
Damn, are you sure the glass isn't scratched? Maybe the previous residents used a scourer or an abrasive cleaner on the glass and the surface is damaged? Then it's unlikely any cleaning product will work. Maybe try a buffer and glass polishing compound.
