I live in a soft water area and use shower gel, not soap in the shower. The white plastic shower tray has a film of greyish white gunk on. I've tried cif and elbow grease with a mildly abrasive sponge and atiny bit may have shifted but I may be imagining it.

Ideas please on how to get the gunk off and how to maintain it.

some stains will dissolve into some plastics. I am surprised CIF did not take it off as it is milldy abrasive. I suppose you could use barkeepers friend but it will eventually wear away the surface.

Try spot-testing to try to work out what it is.
E.g. a bathroom spray cleaner and a green or white nylon scourer will remove soap scum. For some reason shaving foam leaves persistent marks even in soft water.
Vinegar will remove limescale (even though you are in a soft water area)
White spirit will remove most grease marks including body lotions (rub and off on with kitchen roll, do not rinse down the drain)
