Minor nitpick.
Actually acids do not attack glass. Alkaline solutions will. There are
lots of things in the rain besides the nitric and sulfuric acids, and
I am not saying it wasn't the rain, just that it wasn't an acid. The
acids are highly soluble and won't form a deposit on the surface.

Another minor nitpick:
MOST acids will not attack glass. Hydroflouric acid will, and is used
to do just that!
