Car looks great.
I may sound dumb asking this, but is opticoat for keeping the car free of imperfections and the clear film for the prevention of rock chips? |

Almost hit the nail on the head. Opticoat will not prevent you from getting swirls and other scratches but its a very strong sealant. You got the clear film part right
