    Can you - yes... its not like the Optiseal would slide off, or the waxing police will come and arrest you if you do, however, I don't think it is necessary.

    Optiseal on its own is a decent LSP and as far as I know, prefers to bond to 'bare' paint, so would hold up better as the base than atop 845.

    Likewise, 845 on its own is also a great LSP - it may fair better sitting on top of Optiseal than vice versa.

    If it were me, I'd simply pick one and be done with it.

    FWIW I have also found Optiseal to be more of a sheeter than a beader, and the opposite for 845

    845 is a top lsp.

    a difference in gloss; depth--->

    -The #845 will wind up being
    on the top---on top of OS.


    Here's the rationale
    for that statement:

    (from Optimum's Forum)


    •Does Opti-Seal lock in my Carnauba?
    -No. The solvents will dissolve carnauba,
    floating it to the top of the Opti-Seal.

    This fact holds true with any solvent
    based WOWA sealant. The carnauba
    is not removed...just repositioned."
