I have perfected my use of the surface and backing layers of your prepreg, but see room for improvement.  Even with the highest continuous run vacuum there are still some pinholes.  Also Id like to have a slight buffer to be able to wet sand and polish after molding.  Lastly the stray fiber from the surfacing layer can ruin the otherwise perfect surface.  

If you offered your standard prepreg backing layer with the 'surface layer film' on top it would be perfect.  A very resin rich (even if not the perfect ratio) would solve all my layup issues.  Essentially taking your backing layers and adding the film making it a double rich layer.  This would solve the pinhole problem, the stray fiber problem, and the wet sanding allowance problem.  

Please let me know if you are able to carry, order, or modify from a supplier, Im sure it will be hit with many orders!

If you are getting pinholes, you haven't perfected it. Have you tested your vacuum? Done a 30 min drop test? Slow ramping?
You shouldn't get any pinholes whatsoever if you got the process nailed.

                             Must be lack of full vacuum, or curing ramp.
