Yes, I was a slave to two bathrooms, and a family of teens, who had no clue what a squeegee was... Lucky me, a year ago, Annah my new neighbor, is in a business that cleans glass on commercial and residential properties. I asked her if she may have any recommendations for my ongoing battle with my shower and bath glass. She recommended a new product "Crystal Clear Shower Glass Enhancement". She said there are many sealers that have been on the market 15 years or more, old technology, all similar in performance, and needing revitalizing or reapplication. Lori has been growing her business working with large hotel's shower and bath glass doing the application of Crystal Clear to save them cleaning time and no longer the need for strong chemical cleaners. Our Kit was very complete and includes everything my husband and I needed to restore the glass to new, and apply the GlassGuard sealer, all in about an hour. It has been over a year of freedom from what was my dreaded weekly battle. I found Crystal Clear Shower Glass Enhancement Kit is now on sale on Amazon.com. Hope this helps.

Starphire shows the tile in its true color. once you live with starphire, regular glass will give you the creeps :) I disagree :-) I like the greenish cast of "regular" glass and the starfire stuff in seems comparatively uninteresting and pointless to me. To me, that green cast says calm, relax, water, beach, spa, whatever. In Massachusetts where I am, the Starphire glass is the same price (or barely different) than the regular green glass and I went out of my way to specify that they put in the regular stuff. I picked a thicker glass at that - 3/4" thick walls - and I can just about see that green. I've got plenty of the tile in my bath - the glass wall presents an additional bit of interest in that room as you look around the room from tile-no-glass to tile-behind-glass. I like it. So, if you were to ask me, the pro for starfire vs. not is that you have a choice. I did my two bathroom remodels 3 and 5 years ago and during one of them I seem to remember that diamond fusion option present itself as a surface coating to help keeping it clean(er) and I think that is what I picked for the first bathroom. That is an all-glass shower (well, all 4 walls) and I wipe it down with a miracle cloth after every shower. I have no idea if the diamond fusion is doing any good or not because I've always Miracle Cloth'd that shower (it is "my" shower) so I don't know how to evaluate it. That shower certainly does stay very very clean - I've only Windexed it once a year because my wiping does an excellent job keeping that glass clean. The other shower I don't believe is anything but the 3/4" regular glass, it is my husband's shower and he just squeegees the shower. That one needs the Windex treatment I've noticed more often than does mine, but frankly, I suspect the squeegeeing (which I've never found very effective) vs. my miracle cloth wiping. But I just don't know.

I'm not a pro but I installed Showerguard during my relatively recent remodel. I had researched and also asked about it on this forum, and decided on it for all the reasons @ShowerDoorGuy discussed. It has been in use for about 2.5 years and it is still performing really well. I do not squeegee after every shower but I do rinse any obvious blobs with the hand spray before exiting. I am lucky in that I have a weekly cleaning person and she wipes down the door presumably - because the door always looks shiny and clear. Even when neglected, it snapped back into shape as I didn't have the cleaner during the pandemic and so the door did get water spots where water had dried. I am in Los Angeles and my water is very hard - when she came back all of the water spots were gone :-).

We have Starphire glass, but ours is protected by Clear Shield. The place that did our shower doors uses Clear Shield rather than Shower Guard. Love the look of the clear glass! Our shower doors are on a guest bath shower, so outside of the months DH and I had to use the shower while reno'ing our other bathrooms, it doesn't see much use. Even so, we like knowing we "protected" the glass as best we could.
