Some spots on glass shower doors are caused by etching of the glass by cleaning chemicals such as soap. Soap is alkaline and can therefore etch or "eat into" glass.

Some spots are a buildup of lime. For these a wash down with vinegar can sometimes help.

There are some products available to coat glass to reduce spot maks and etching. Some are designed for use before the spotting has ocurred to ptotect the glass, and others to fill in the rough patches.

To help prevent the spotting of glass, use a squeegee (with a rubber blade like a window wiper) to remove water drops from glass after showering. This removes the water and soap so that the glass is not exposed to the alkaline action for too long in one location. Steel wool. #0000 super fine. If that doesn't do it, and if you can't live with it, replace the glass.
