Putting HydrO2 over 845? I'm not sure that the HydrO2 would really adhere properly, and so I suspect the finish would not be the best. Might also get streaking/spotting.
Just stick with the 845. I think you'll find the protection and shine are extremely long-lasting without anything else over it.

I agree. My wife's Impala looks mint after it is done as did my old 09 Sierra. My white Ram also looks great after it is done but pales in comparison to my wife's car.

SirTanon is correct. Stay with the Collonite.

1. Is this a good idea?
2. Do you have a better idea?
3. How long should I wait before I apply the HydrO2?
Thanks!
Always good to wax your vehicle before a hurricane?
Stick with the Collinite 845. It will easily last until spring.

I'd go with 2 coats of the 845 instead of two different products. Just allow ample time for the product to cure before re-coating it. If I'm ambitious I'll wait 24 hours, otherwise I'll apply the second coat the next time I wash the car.

Wouldn't a wax over the sealant be better? Or pick one and apply two coats? That's what I've been doing with Menzerna Powerlock.

It's always preferable to put sealant on first then wax. There are a lot of opinions on the value of this. My opinion would be to use a good sealant, and the Collonite is one, and then adopt a spray wax as you dry Regimen for the maintenance car washes.

It sure does look awesome sitting in this prehurricaine rain with the water all beaded up.
Yes, I try and think all the time. lol My logic is to have the wax, protect the sealant. But to be honest I just prefer two coats of the Powerlock and then wash the vehicle as needed.

Yeah sealant would go first then the wax on top. This video has some information on it, he has some others with 845 also: Collinite 845 liquid wax
Haven't tried it I just throw a coat of 845 on but apparently Power Lock Plus & 845 work good together. Some sealants won't work with some waxes but that seems to be a good combo.

I use Collinite 925 (it's their boat wax, but the same as 845) in a mix with Duragloss sealants routinely. It saves a step and gives beautiful protection without issues.

Wax won't adhere properly doing it that way. You want a high pH wash soap like Purple Power Vehicle and Boat or Turtle Wax MAX. You need to STRIP all the wax and wax like products OFF before you apply any wax or sealant.
