I read about using orange oil or TSP (trisodium phosphate). I tried both. Each worked like magic, but I preferred the TSP. In the past, I only knew about the powdered kind sold at home improvement stores (and used for washing walls before painting). Later, I found it in liquid form (at the dollar store), in a yellow bottle marked "TSP ELBOW GREASE." It cost $1, and it is the best cleaner I have ever bought! I used it full strength, and it turned fiberglass yellowed by thick soap scum and body oil white again!

I have tried everything that I've read on the internet and every product that claims to remove soap scum and water deposits from the shower doors to no end, I even considered replacing the glass. The other day I purchased Cerama Bryte to clean the glass ceramic cooktop. After reading the instructions carefully, this product claimed to clean glass shower doors (like I haven't seen this before), I figured all I've got to lose is a few more calories cleaning those dang doors again, I'm surprised I haven't actually rubbed a hole into the glass by now. Here is what I did: 1) Cleaned glass shower doors with CLR bathroom & kitchen cleaner. 2) Let dry overnight. 3) Applied Cerama Bryte glass-ceramic cooktop cleaner on to a dry Cerama Bryte cleaning pad and rubbed like heck in circles and let dry to a powder. 4) Wiped the powder off with a clean dry towel. 5) Cleaned with straight vinegar to get the powder haze completely off.
