I have 2 fiberglass tubs, 7 years old, that are impossible to keep clean- they've got layer upon layer of ground-in soap scum and gunk. I clean them every week with a liquid non-abrasive cleaner and a soft sponge, but it doesn't help very much. Any tips?

I have fiberglass tubs and shower stalls which are 13 years old and have no problem at all. The best thing I've used thus far is Kaboom, which I bought in Walmart.

You can try some Dawn Power Dissolver (found with the dish detergent in the grocery store.) Spray it on and let it sit for a while, then wipe with a rag or sponge and rinse. If the gel coat is worn on the tubs, you might not be able to get them really clean looking.
Katie,
I had success dealing with the same problem using "tub-rite". You can check it out at
