A DIY car detailer is overwhelmed by the complexity and choices of products and procedures for cleaning and protecting multiple household cars, with specific challenges like hard water, fragile paint, and limited time.

Workarounds Described

• spent 2 hours reading posts, wiki, and HTAD recommendations across multiple sites
• shopping products on Amazon, Walmart, and Sam's Club separately
• unsure which wash method to use (strip, prewash, 3 ph)

Implied Software Gaps

• Personalized product recommendation engine that consolidates all steps and items into one cart
• Interactive decision tree to guide beginners through wash, clay, polish, and protect steps based on car paint type and condition
• Single-vendor shopping list with automated compatibility checks for hard water and paint type
