Is there some type of “rubbing” compound that will clean the mineral deposits off the shower glass?
Thanks.

Vinegar is a weak acid that will have a cutting effect on calcium water residues.
Much of what is deposited on shower glass is a combination of mostly soap and body oil residues and is well handled by frequent cleansing.
Ajax, and "Kaboom" have become my favorite cleansers...give'em a try!

Look carefully at your "mineral deposits" to make sure that's what you are seeing. Shower glass can become etched and nothing I know of will fix that, short of new glass.

Another thing to try is one of the "after shower" sprays. (I favor Arm&Hammer brand because it doesn't contain bleach.) They don't immediately clear up the crud, but will slowly dissolve it, and prevent more from forming.
Thanks so much for the input. I try a few and check back.
