Sandblasters are indeed a very efficient way to clean things. I had the chance
to use one at a company once where I was an intern. Lots of old wrenches, pots
and engine parts were like new, with a fine finish.
Never thought about cleaning my lenses with it, but an old bicyle frame (no,
not Titanium) came out as-new. Be aware that sandblasting on normal steel
(st37) will remove quite a layer of atoms - in my case the tubes of the bicycle
frame fame out 2/10s of a millimeter thinner...
