The white film on glass shower doors is hard water scale, baked on by the heat and the splash. Regular cleaning and a squeegee keep it off, and a water softener stops it at the source.
The film

The clean
A squeegee after every shower prevents most of the buildup, and a descaler or vinegar removes what is already there.
The coatings
A water-repellent coating on the glass helps the water sheet off, slowing the scale.
The fix
A water softener removes the minerals entirely, and the doors stay clear with far less effort.
