I put a rainx coating on my glass shower door, plus I wipe it down with towels every other shower. It is crystal clear, but we have a whole house filter plus water softener.

Ours is a door that opens on a hinge. I'm leary of the sliding doors. I've had them before and had trouble keeping the slot where the doors overlap clean. Maybe nowadays both doors slide.
