As long as you don't get the motor/electrics wet, does anyone see any reason you couldn't use a PC RO polisher to clean the inside of your shower/bathtub?
Wonder which pad would be best with something like Soft Scrub liquid?
This may just be the straw that pushes me over the edge to buying one.

Anyone done this, looking for feedback.

And use the same method on your bathtub/sinks as you would on your car. Start with the least abrasive polish/pad combo and check your results after each one, stop with the first one that gets the desired result.
And hey... your MINI wasn't reason enough to get a PC buffer ??
What Chris said. Highly recommended tool for polishing up the shower stall walls... from personal experience. And it works wonders on Corian countertops!

Good to hear it works. Any techniques or clues from your experience, what pad if it matters, what polishes or cleaners?

Well, I suspect it's less important what product you use, as long as you use it correctly. My own product of choice is from MMM, called Finesse It. Not because I went out and bought it for the job, but because I had it left over from a boat I painted many years ago and I wanted to use it up. It is a VERY mild abrasive (almost no abrasive at all), much gentler than Soft Scrub. I don't think I'd even consider using Soft Scrub with a machine, but feel free to experiment and let us all know how it works for you!
I'm not going to pretend to teach you how to do the job, but I will tell you that IMHO it's important that you keep the product and the surface wet. Not damp... WET. Keep the water out of the PC, of course! Pretty much all of these products will get more abrasive when they dry out, and then heat builds up. What started out as a fun cleaning project can quickly turn into the project from hell as you try to correct a melted shower wall.

I tried cleaning my floors using a cutting pad (it came in a set, and I didn't think I'd ever use it on my car) with regular all-purpose spray cleaner and it didn't do much good. I think you need something more abrasive than a car-polishing pad for housecleaning (well, for cleaning my neglected floors at least), but maybe Soft Scrub would have the abrasives you need.

Bar Keepers Friend and a cutting pad for the really, really bad fiberglass shower inserts. I found this combo/solution on a cleaning services forum and gave it a try on a real sorry looking insert.
After a full scrubbing with BKF, I went over the whole insert with Amigo and all I can say is that a new insert right out of the box doesn't look as good as this 20 year-old shower does now.
The PC is a true value if you need to clean up a shower insert.
Just use Prima Swirl and the LC pads. Just because you're polishing painted fiberglass in the bathroom doesn't mean it's any different.
