What’s the best product to loosen up mold, mildew, and rust stains? Obviously elbow grease is required...

Mold- Bleach
Mildew- Soft Scrub
Rust- 40 Grit

I put a random brush head on my drill and go to town.

Concrobium works pretty good on the mold and mildew. Get it at Home Depot.

Once you get it clean, start using Tilex Daily Shower Cleaner. It greatly reduces the mold and soap scum. Using it “daily” is overkill, though. Twice a week seems sufficient.

They sell this cleaner at the doller store its called Awesome, and it is!

Tilex for mildew.
Switch to a clean rinsing shower gel like neutrogena and you will reduce future soap scum issues

Vinegar and dish soap. Scrub the hell out of it and let it sit for about 10 minutes before rinsing.

You want a cleaner with quaternary ammonium imo. It will penetrate deeper and kill mold down to the hyphae(anchoring 'roots'). After that, it's all about moisture mitigation.

The shower at the hunting camp gets bad rust stains throughout the year. Scrubbing with a pumice stone was the only painstaking way to clean the toilets, sinks, and showers. Pioneer Products in Hammond sells this stuff called Ring-Go that melts the stains away with minimal (if any) scrubbing. Can't be good for the pipes, though. Just looked it up and it's 23% hydrochloric acid

What is the shower made of? Some materials can’t handle certain cleaners

Use fabric softener sheets (wet). Cuts soap scum immediately. They also work on love bugs on your car.

I keep a 4 foot boat deck brush in my shower. Scrub a little everyday when I’m taking my shower. Occasionally turn the water off for a bit and sprinkle some bartenders friend, and get after it with the big brush.
Otherwise, whatever ‘the help’ does.

I have very hard water and it was building up on my glass doors to the shower, in spite of daily squeegeeing. This stuff took it off beautifully:
Not immediately but after around 15 applications in a few weeks. It saved me a good bit of work with a drill pad and cleaner.

Not sure what materials your shower is made out of, but for tile/grout, I cannot sing the praises of grout sealer enough.
Once you get it as clean as humanly possible (or when it's newly installed) get something like this. It's super easy to apply and cuts your cleaning time down to almost nothing. Think of it as kinda painting your grout as far as adding color and filling in the pores.
We sealed ours right after our master bath renovation... I almost never have to scrub the grout (and when I do, chances are it's a spot that I didn't seal super-well and can re-do to prevent from recurring). Our existing tile floor grout looks like new after sealing and now stays clean.
