After several days of trying every concotion imaginable to remove the hardwater deposits from our glass block shower stall, we tried Bruce's GSR Glass Water Spot & Stain Remover, which I found at the local ACE hardware.
Also found their website:
I suspect the mineral deposits may have actually been etched into the glass and that in fact I was polishing a layer away, rather than removing a deposit.
At any rate, the glass looks terrific.
