For the ring of really nasty lime deposits in the toilet, I use a pumice stone from the beauty section at Walgreen's. It's work.

Once the scuzz is off the shower door, go to a bath and bedding store and get a small plastic squeegee to hang on a press on hook near the outside of the shower. Just squeegee it down after using and you'll have little trouble with lime deposits.

Lime deposits are why I cringe at those glittering all glass shower surrounds on HGTV.
