Yes, but epic and hydro seal are duplicate in that both are sealants. One difference though is, hydro seal does not stain trim, but epic can.

Note that Cut is a compound. So with Amigo, I'd use a light polishing pad and work it a little longer. The longer you work in Amigo, the more polishing effect you will get.

You might already know this but, remember to clay or use a clay alternative before you start. You want the cleanest surface before any polishing or compounding.

Also, I mix 1 part hydro seal with 2 parts hydro and use it as my spray wax after washes.

What's the purpose of mixing Hydro with Hydro Seal?

Interesting idea.

I'm thinking that mixing hydro seal with hydro will increase the durability. Kind of like hydro-max. Since I got a DA, I don't have much of a use for hydro seal, so I decided to mix it.

It's a good idea and I tried it yesterday, as I have a partial bottle of Hydro Seal and a full bottle of Hydro.

(But what's a "DA"?)

Dual Action polisher. Can't use hydro seal with a polisher.
After reading a little more about hydro seal, if you were going to use epic and hydro seal, it would be best to apply epic then top with hydro seal.
