I ordered some 845, AIO, and duragloss carwash.
Now, i plan on using the AIO for oxidation, using some junk MF walmart auto stuff i have laying around, apply the 845 with a diff, but same type of MF cloth, and i wanted to use something on top of it because of winter.
Around here, i am worried that when i use a brush on my paint, that it will scratch it. What can i use to clear off my paint of snow except a brush?

Yes, you can top the AIO with the 845IW. You shouldn`t need anything on top of the 845. If you wish apply the AIO, then 2 thin coats of 845 and you should be set for the winter.
For snow removal you can use your brush just don`t remove the snow down to the paint. I use my brush but leave 0.5" - 1" of snow on the paint and let it melt off when the car heats up, or else it blows off by the time I reach the main road.
It is impossible to remove snow, especially on a dirty car, and not put some marring in. The goal is to induce as little as possible.

I do the same as audicoupe, just remove the snow down to about half an inch then let it melt off.
Where the F do you live that you get a ticket if you have .5" of snow on your car?

You think snow is a pain. I had two inches of Ice on my car last winter. Really screwed up my paint getting it off. Now I`ve sold that car and got covered parking.

It`s very hard to guarantee that you won`t push some of the snow/ice into the paint as you squeegee the surface.
