Sorry about being a sarcastic dick, my bad. But actually you haven't stated why it doesn't make sense to use Opticoat on top of a self-healing film. You've only stated your opinion that it doesn't seem like a good idea to you. In order to really state why it's not a good idea you would need to explain how the chemical properties of Opticoat inhibit the chemical processes the XPel PPF uses to repair itself. Or, alternatively, you can post up on YouTube your own experiments that empirically demonstrate how the presence of Opticoat on XPel prevents the film from repairing itself. Ideally, you would be able to state theoretically the chemical reactions that will take place and then experimentally verify the hypothesis.

If you can do that, I'm listening! No sarcasm here, just science.
It will inhibit the self healing process. The film will heal, but scratches on the opticoat will not
