Mine is a dark chocolate brown coloring. I've tried lava soap with steel wool. Rouge and buffing wheel. And with a razor blade. I've only been able to lighten the color a slight amount but able to see through it better.

Once the brown film gets on the glass, it's almost impossible to remove. As I posted in the other thread it's easy to clean once the wax coating is on it, however I started with new glass.
