OK, now THAT (erosion, etching) is credible.   I had a big fight with
someone who will remain unnamed who also claimed SiO2 deposition and I
refused to believe it.   If it is erosion, there are glass polishing
compounds (used by telescope makers) that should solve the problem.  They
have abrasives that go all the way from major glass removal to polishing to
.1 wave should you feel so inclined.
