If most systems can be distortion free and all systems remove glass. How can any system be distortion free? If you remove material you change the refractive qualities of the glass, causing distortion. Glass starts to bend when heated to 1,100 degrees I seriously doubt that a cerium oxide slurry would get that hot and if it did the laminate in the w/s would burn and the glass would crack. The only system that can rearrange molecules is on the USS Enterprise, but its in space dock getting refitted. Have Fun
