Fiberglass, Marble, Simulated Marble

These type of showers aer difficult to keep clean. They require a lot of extra work or they look terrible all the time.  It is very important to make sure that marble and fiberglass showers are wiped dry after each use.  Dullness, staining, and pitting are caused by water that has been allowed to drip down in the shower walls and air dry.

Go to the dealer that sold you the shower and buy their cleaner.  This will do the best job of cleaning and it will remove many of the stains.  The cleaner is strong, so use rubber gloves and open all the windows while using it.

The pitting is permanent, but it can be partially covered by rubbing the shower with Turtle Wax (white paste car wax) or by using the wax sold by the dealer.  Let the wax dry for about 20 minutes, then buff it with a terrycloth rag.  The wax is a good protection against future staining.  It should be applied about once a week.
