I haven't done it but the guy who installed XPEL on mine said he could apply Opticoat on top of it. I didn't do it because it was expensive as hell.

I believe you can. I have Ceramic Pro’s 9H and Top Coat on my Xpel PPF and don’t have any issues.

Check with your installer! My buddy (professional Installer)told me XPEL recently changed their terms and will void warranty if any coating was used (only Xpel coating allowed).

That is correct, mine was done before the change of their policy which was done to force customers to only use their products! :thumbdown

Yeah, they are forcing the installers to exclusively using their products! My buddy stopped using Xpel because he didn't want to deal with the hassles.

SHould be fine honestly especially with Gyeon's track record. I love Pure on my bare paint. It's fantastic.

thanks for all the information from everyone. it seems that the Xpel brand ceramic is not avalible to the public. I am going to give it a shot with the Gyeon PPF ceramic on a small hidden area to make sure it seems ok to use on the entire ppf portion.

Should work without any problem! I used Gyeon PPF Ceramic on Suntek Ultra and still looking great after almost 2 years parking outside.
Just be prepared to deal with XPEL if you have any problem with the PPF. My buddy's told me his colleague went through a lot of trouble getting XPEL to reimburse for work on one of his customer's car.

It should work, but I think Gyeon PPF coating or Mohs Evo will last longer on PPF. Pure is high solids so may "fracture" more over time as the PPF flexes.
