use white vinegar and get it very hot but not boiling.....
mix with blue Dawn dishwashing detergent 50/50.
squirt or spray on thickly back to back about 10 min apart (i reheated it in-between)

use the hottest water from your shower spray and rinse well using a microfiber cloth to help dislodge
any problem areas.

that's it!

I use the rain guard on after I get it clean - two coats - let it dry in-between then
polish the glass. warning!!! keep a window cracked and a fan going when you do the
rain guard. it's very strong and dangerous smelling.
