    Have you tried white vinegar mixed with water 50/50/a dab of soap and a dab of jet dry.With this until you get the soap scum under control use Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

    You can try this technique, http://homeguides.sfgate.com/cleaning-white-fiberglass-shower-90466.html. My friend swears by magic erasers too.

    Easy Off No Fume Oven Cleaner in the BLUE can. Spray it on, let it foam, and sit for a while. Then rinse.

    I use 1/4 cup Dawn dishwashing liquid and 2 cups vinegar mixed together. Scrub the walls and floor of the tub really well the first time with a scrub brush, etc to get the scum off. After that, use a squeegee after every shower to help prevent future buildup. You can let the mixture set on the scum for awhile to break it down some and then you will need less scrubbing.

    The suggestions that have been sent are good. Whichever one works for you, would be great. However, after you clean everything off your shower walls, wipe it with furniture polish. It helps keep the soap from sticking. You still have to clean the shower, however, it will be a lot easier.

    yes - wipe walls with "furniture polish" actually, wipe them with lemon oil or something similar. Do NOT wipe this on the floor. It does work - the water and soap scum sheets off.
