But before I gave up, I always just wiped the walls of the shower with my towel after every shower. And I used Pine Sol (or a cheaper pine cleaner). It cuts the grunge easily.

Works on enamel and Fiberglass. For old hard to remove soap and stuff, spray it on and leave overnight. You can also use a brush made for bathroom cleaning or a Chore Girls on the heavy stuff.
I've used it for years without any problems. Works on chrome and some oother metals also. Wipe it off before it dries.
