Fiberglass shower floor

Once the thin gel coat has been worn away by use or abuse, the substrate material is absorbent to everyday soil and soap scum. Applying foaming bathroom cleaners and letting them set is your best bet. You will probably never achieve the look of the original new surface. Acrylic is a far better product. The color is all the way through and there is no gel coat. Fiberglass has been marketed as the premium product for baths and other purposes. I think folks are just now beginning to realize its limitations.
