    I broke down and buffed the tub & shower stall combo with a PC/ColorX duo...I'll have to admit, it looks like new now...The wife was amazed too.

        Yup....Looks like I've done it now

        On a serious note...Would it be a good idea to use car shampoo about once a week on the stall?

        Seems like anything else would be too strong and remove the wax protection.

          I tried NXT on my shower doors it only was able to bead water for a day. How is the colorX wax holding up? If I could get something to slow down the hard water scum It'd be worth applying once every week or so. I'm also looking for this effect in my brushed chrome sink, but nothing I've tried there as of yet works very well either. Any suggestions?

            Hi Rick,

            As you probably already know, NXT sheets more than it beads. Therefore, it is probably working just fine. If you have ever tried to clean an applicator pad that has had NXT on it, you know how hard it is to get it out of the pad. It is very detergent resistant, IMHO.

            I like to use the ColorX as its cleaners cut through the scum, leaving a very glossy surface!

              Good work everyone.

              I also wax my shower with ColorX, but by hand.

                ColorX seems to be holding up well after 10 days or so, but I have soft water too.

                Yesterday, I washed the whole stall with Gold Class shampoo diluted to the proper level and I think it cleaned up a lot of the scum.

                  Tim, on the shower stall discussion....we have a shower stall that was put in by Bath Fitters...their products are a high quality acrylic...between the shower doors and the walls, I was thinking of doing the G100 and ColorX ...I'm assuming that acrylic is ok to be polished ???...it's not in bad shape, just would like to get them new looking again...and they are white walls...nothing to do in the 6 degree weather...

                    Bill, I can not answer specifically about your shower. Heres what I did. In our complex, we have hard water and acrylic walls over the tub. A while back I read on the forum about someone using the A-12 cleaner wax on his shower walls. I tried it and it worked great, Now about every 6 weeks I have to hit them again. Being that the color-x is stronger then the A-12 I would think it would probably work real well.

                    Do a test spot and see what happens? Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

                      Hey Bill,

                      I can not say for sure about your shower, but I always use ColorX in mine and it keeps it looking awesome. Heck, I have used the rotary on mine and it came out like a mirror! But I would suggest asking the dealer what they suggest for cleaning it, just in case...

                        OK so don't laugh too hard, but my husband cleans the fiberglass shower with the same acid he uses to clean wheels. I was aghast at first, but he hasn't died and it does clean the hard water etching. next thing you know I'll be in there with the PC and 66!

                          Can anything restore gloss back to badly scratched porcelain kitchen sink? Or the vitreous coating is now just gone? There are some touch up products but those are for filling the gauges and they will not endure the sink abuse.

                              Probably not. A wax will shine it temporarily, but that is not usually a surface you can really remove scratches from for a permanent gloss.

                                Hey Rick- You spoke in a shorthand that many seemed to understand but can you explain step by step please. I have a Corian counter that has some scratches and is dull.
                                What do you mean by fine cut cleaner (????) on a cutting pad (????)...
                                The DACP (????) did the most, it made it glossy again. I followed it up with a coat of #26 (???)
                                Lastly what Meguiar product did you use? And did it give a gloss or matte finish? I'd appreciate you taking the time to clarify....
