They have an AIO product, but I am reluctant to recommend it for use alone due to it's price of $27 plus shipping:

Having said that, I use Zaino AIO in my paint detail regimen:
1. Wash, clay, rinse, dry vehicle (1 hour)
2. Apply/remove Zaino AIO (1 hour)
3. Apply 2 coats Zaino Z2 Pro with ZFX additive. (2 - 3 hours)
Done until next spring/fall. I go at a leisurely pace, listen to something good on the radio, adult beverages, etc.. In over 2 decades, I have never done a complete paint correction on my vehicles, except maybe a single light scratch or two. My FCA vehicles have always seemed to have very durable paint. I seldom wash my vehicles - probably no more than 6 times annually including the detailing washes. I use high quality microfiber products and wash techniques.
With my schedule, a bottle of Z2 Pro lasts 2 years, the AIO 4 - 5 years. It's applied VERY thin. Upfront costs seem high, but spread out over the years it is not bad ($20 +/- per year).
pretty much the same regimen that I follow...since about 2001 when my own test had Zaino beat the Meguiar's I was using...YMMV
