Is Menzerna One-Step Polish 3in1 an example of AIO product?

You can top it with PP Ultra although I wouldn't. PP Ultra is a finishing wax that has fine abrasives in it.

I would finish it Polymer Lock or Carnauba Lock.

Will one of the lock give extra glossy and shine looks on the paint? Or it's already glossy from the 3in1 itself?

Cheers!

Not that there's any more confusion left but, yes, it is an AIO product and one of the better ones. When I have topped AIO's in the past it was to extend the longevity of the LSP qualities. I still believe from personal experience they don't last too long as far as protection. I add a topper maybe a month or two later to extend the protective qualities.

What do you mean by LSP, sorry i'm new to detailing so i don't know the terms.

What kind of topper do you prefer?

Cheers!

Power lock a couple washes (weeks) down the road after your application of the AIO

3 in 1 is already pretty glossy on its own. It's more or less equivalent to 2500 mixed with color lock.

Sorry...LSP is Last Step Product or the very last thing you apply to protect the paint whether it's wax, sealant or coating. In my opinion, AIO's have 2 or 3 characteristics...maybe a very slight abrasive "grit" to remove minor swirls, a paint cleaner and lastly a wax or sealant component. It's this last component that, for me, doesn't last very long so I add the dedicated wax or sealant from the same line of products to "boost" the protection affect. As previously mentioned above, I would certainly consider Power Lock or color Lock if using Menz 3-In-1 as your AIO.

You don't NEED to add another wax or sealant on top of an AIO and there are some that argue it's redundant because the AIO already includes the wax/sealant (LSP). I also don't notice any additional "shine" from adding in another topper step but I do like adding a "boost" as I said maybe 2-4 weeks after, simply for durability.

Yes. Topping with CL will add more depth and gloss. PL will add some gloss but more durability.
