Repair of surface defects on tempered glass

In our business we use curved panels of tempered glass in windshield assemblies. We have a piece with three scratches approx. 14 mm long, and penetrating the surface. We have polished them out with a product called "Scratch Lifter" purchased at "Liquidresins.com". My question is - does polishing tempered glass to remove a surface imperfection such as a scratch compromise the structural integrity of the pane of glass? The glass we use is produced by Trend Glass if this has any bearing. Also, the polishing action did not produce any noticable distortion to the glass.

How to remove pyrolitic coating on auto glass?

I work as an engineer in the automobile industry. We have vehicles that have pyrolitic coating on the auto glass which is regarded by our transport authorities as overly reflective for safety reasons. I would appreciate any information how this pyrolitic coating could be removed without destroying the glass.

Thanking you,
