One-step is deicing, two-step is anti-icing. Never heard of three step. If you are using hot de-icing fluid to remove existing ice then why bother with a second de-icing step before anti-icing? By all means check first step has removed any clear ice, and if not give it another spray with the deicing fluid, but a whole new spray? Never seen it done in Europe, the US or Canada.
