Which comes first, Wax or Sealant?
I have Meguiar's Ultimate Paste Wax and Colonite 845. Which should be applied first? First wax and then colonite or vise versa?
Or does it depend on the season? I know colonite kind of gets liquidy when you warm it up and we have 95*F days in east Texas this time of the year.

Autogeeks 1838472748 posts on utilizing sealant say that sealant is used on a clean surface and then allowed to cure. Carnauba can then be applied over sealant.
Make sure you have a clean surface before applying sealant....maybe claybar or paintwork cleansing lotion after washing.

Sealants last longer but don't give you that warm shine a quality carnauba wax does so some apply a sealant for durability and then a good wax to make it look show car quality. So it's perfectly ok to do both just do the correct order.
As matter of fact, last time I did my truck I did the Ultimate Liquid Wax first and then 845.
If the 845 is liquid that's good and how you want to apply it, the thinner the better.
...after both are done top it with a spray wax and use that spray wax after every wash...like weekly for instance
I would suggest Meguiars Quik Wax Spray or Chemical Guys V7. The Meg's is sold OTC at most Auto parts stores

Always sealant before wax but make sure it's really a Wax and don't go by the name. Meg's ultimate Liquid Wax is actually a Sealant but marketed with the name of Wax for OTC consumers.

Perfectly ok, just make sure the surface is not too dirty to prevent swirls in your clear coat Instant Detailer is for light dust and contaminants. It's not a heavy cleaner. As far what I think you are asking, the ID will not hurt the Sealant/Wax
