Using release film instead of peel ply?

When using the peel ply, it leaves a rough texture so that i can bond another layer, but I just need a nice smooth surface. I saw that there are some release films that say they leave a glossy finish. Can I use this instead of the peel ply? Any thing to watch out for when using a perforated release film? I would expect that my materials would be in this order: plug, carbon fiber, release film, breather, vacuum bag. Is that correct?
